As we move through our grief, we may wrestle with the feeling of guilt. This workshop is a safe place and a healing opportunity to embrace powerful practices to release guilt, embrace freedom and return to an awareness of wholeness that is our divine inheritance.

What is the Membership class? It’s a free three-week class for newcomers and current or returning members to learn about our spiritual community and the benefits of membership and living a deeper spiritual life. Newcomers sometimes find it challenging to meet people, make friends, and find ways to be involved in the life of a spiritual community. Through this class participants become connected to a small group of people, and get spiritual tools and practical information to become a part of the life of GGCSL. Upon class completion, participants may choose to become members (if they aren’t already) of Golden Gate Center for Spiritual Living.
Rev. Mary and Karen Frost, RScP, will be facilitating the Membership class on Zoom. The course is three Sundays: August 25, September 1 & 15, on Zoom from 12:30–2:30 pm. Each week we’ll provide you with important and useful information about GGCSL and how it works, as well as allotting a good amount of time for getting acquainted more deeply with others exploring membership.
Sign up at the Events Table on Sunday, or email administrator@ggcsl.org so Sonia can send your handouts to you and provide the online link for the Zoom meetings.
This course is offered free of charge.
The welcome reception for those choosing to become GGCSL members will be Friday, Sept. 20th (location TBA), and Welcome Sunday will be September 22nd at the 10 AM Celebration service.

Please plan to attend a one-hour meeting on Sunday, July 28th. Rev. Mary and the Leadership Council want to get your feedback on several things, and update you on everything GGCSL. Put it on your calendar so you won’t miss it!
GGCSL has supported Rev. Dr. Barbara Leger in her Ukraine ministry since it began in 2001. In the last few years, Rev. Barbara has created new initiatives and curricula that teach children in the schools there the principles of inner peace. These teaching modules and the related practices and activities have made a huge impact on the children and their teachers in war-torn Ukraine, as well as in their homes.
Meet on Zoom with Rev. Barbara to learn how you can help ease the burdens of stress for the kids and their families with Possibilities Ukraine, our partnership with Rev. Barbara’s ministry/organization, The Golden Path of Peace, on Wednesday, July 24th at Noon:

Sunday, June 16th is Fathers’ Day. This is an early reminder: set aside your favorite photo of your Dad for our altar on this mid-June honoring of Fathers. (The reminder came too late for some of you for Mothers’ Day, so we’re getting an earlier start on this one.)
