THIS WEEK'S AFFIRMATION

THIS WEEKS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

This week we learned and practiced using a tool to assist us to explore situations that we experience as somehow unmanageable. Then to practice HOW to change our thinking which inevitably changes our experience of the situation.

2025 ANNUAL PLEDGE PROGRAM

A few points of clarification.

  • We ask everyone to renew their membership and giving pledge so:
  • you have an opportunity to recommit, and
  • we know you're choosing to continue as a member of the Columbia CSL Community.
  • If you already have a recurring giving set up in Breeze and you're choosing to continue it into 2025, you only need to complete the 2025 Pledge Form.
  • If you have ANY additional questions, please reach out to me directly.

Much love,

Rev. Rafe
