ANNOUNCEMENTS 


What Would You Give to Create Change?

What would you give to create change? Change in your life… your relationships… your Center… your world?


At CSL Nashville, we know that giving is a powerful spiritual practice. When we give from a consciousness of love, trust, and joy, we participate in the Law of Circulation, affirming that we live in a Universe that supports and multiplies our good.


We’re inviting you to make a conscious giving commitment that supports your own spiritual expansion and helps sustain our beloved community. When you give, you anchor the truth that you are abundant, that you are part of something meaningful, and that Spirit meets you every step of the way.


Make your pledge to CSLN's Pledge Campaign today and let your giving be a sacred “yes” to abundance!

NEW!

Discover Sparrow: A Poetry Comic — a new genre created by our own Dale Rogers, RScP.


This beautifully illustrated story follows a sparrow’s evolving relationship with the wind, inspired by Rev. Michael Beckwith’s Spiritual Evolution Model. Sparrow is available now through a variety of bookstores, including the CSLN Bookstore. Pick up your copy today — and have Dale sign it for you!


NEW! Join Us in Honoring Motherhood

CSLN Ladies, please join the Women of Unity & New Thought on Saturday, May 10th at 9:45am in Fillmore Fellowship Hall as we hold sacred space and celebrate Honoring Motherhood! Bring a special photo, memory, or story to share as we honor the moms, mother-figures, and nurturing spirits in our lives. 


Breakfast Potluck – bring a dish to share! No RSVP needed—just come as you are.


Food Gift Boxes Available

Being part of a community means helping each other during times of need. It also means sometimes leaning into the community and allowing them to help when we need a hand. As we all know, food prices have increased significantly. Some of our members have been seriously affected by this. To assist, the Caring Hearts would like to discreetly provide a food gift box to anyone who may be having difficulty with these increased costs. A basket to receive donations of non-perishable food items and/or grocery store gift cards or cash will be in the Center lobby before the service. If someone would like assistance at this time, please reach out to Erica Leeds to allow our center the opportunity to support you.


We Need Photos!

The New Minister Search team needs photos to prepare our New Minister Profile and Video. Because we are going to be moving, we are looking for pictures centered more on our people than on the space. If you have photos or videos from the past couple of years of any gatherings at our Center, please send them to admin@cslnashville.org.


The Vote is Live

Ballots to vote to buy the property at 160 Belle Forest Circle were emailed to all confirmed members on April 21. Members will have until May 1 at 11:59pm to vote.


Changes to Hospitality

We greatly appreciate our hospitality volunteers and the generosity and care they bring to our fellowship time after the service! To make it easier for them, manage the Center's costs and still provide a time for all of us to gather after the service, we are making some changes to hospitality. CSLN will provide veggies and hummus, cheese and crackers and nuts as standard snacks every Sunday. The hospitality volunteers may augment those snacks with items of their choosing. Members are always welcome to also bring something. When we have workshops or meetings after the service, we will provide these light refreshments and invite people to bring their lunch or a dish to share if something more is desired. Thank you to this wonderful team who make our time together after our service so special!


Free Stuff!

There are 2 tables of free things in the Fellowship Hall that Unity and CSLN have made available to anyone who needs them. Please help yourself to these items.


Help CSLN Reach Our Goal of 1000 YouTube Subscribers!

CSLN has over 900 YouTube subscribers! Help us reach the milestone of 1000 subscribers. When we do, we will receive Google benefits and credits that will help us increase our social media presence. If you are not a subscriber, become one. If you are a subscriber, share our channel on FB and on other social media. You can help CSLN grow!


Volunteer Needed for Youth Program

We are looking for a volunteer to assist with the Youth Program once a month. Curriculum and Training will be provided. Please email admin@cslnashville.org if you are interested!

MEETINGS & EVENTS

NEW!

Join us for The Practice on May 4th and July 6th!

Facilitators: Practitioners Dale Rogers & Tonya Miller-Hire

Time & Location: Meditation Room at 1:30pm


The Practice is a sacred space to explore, reflect, and apply spiritual principles to everyday life. It offers a safe and supportive circle where participants can share personal challenges, release what no longer serves them, and discover practical steps for moving forward. Guided by CSL practitioners, this gathering emphasizes deep listening, heartfelt conversations, and the transformative power of living Science of Mind principles. It’s a space for renewal, clarity, and connection—where Spirit meets real-life situations, and practice becomes progress. The Practice is an opportunity to experience the profound growth that comes from engaging in a sacred and intentional community.

Creating Our Beloved Community

Whether you're curious about new expressions of faith, passionate about spiritual growth, or simply looking for a community of seekers, this group is for you. Come with an open heart and mind as we journey together and discover new ideas for our own growth.

Besides Candy Paull’s books, we have several books by members of CSLN available. We have Dale Rogers’ book, Sparrow, and we also have Dr. Mitch’s little book of treatments, Treat Yourself. We have Rosemary Cathcart’s new book, and all of those books have been signed.

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT

David Arnholter, RScP


I know that there is only One. One Spirit, One Light, One Love. I am one with Spirit. I am one with Light! I am one with Love. I know this fully and completely!

 

A healing Power is flowing in and through me now. Every organ of my body, every thought in my mind, every function of my body is healed by this Power completely and perfectly.  There is no fear, no doubt and no uncertainty in my mind. The love of Spirit expressing in and through me, guards me, guides me and protects me every step of my life.

 

And I know this same healing Power is flowing through our beloved Center healing everything which needs to be healed to keep it growing and thriving.

 

I give thanks for Love expressing in my Life. I give thanks for the Science of Mind teaching. I give thanks for everyone who is actively working and supporting our vibrant, loving, abundant Community of CSL Nashville.

 

Accepting “Love Expressing” as my life experience, I release my word into the Universal Law of Mind, which always says YES! knowing it has already made all of this or something even better, so.

 

And so it is.
