LVCSL's GOT  TALENT!!


"The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned."
Maya Angelou,                    --Rainbow in the clouds

I am amazed at all of the hands that go into redecorating a youth church space. From the many minds who visioned what it would look like; the wise and wonderful persons who moved furniture, cleaned and pared excess items in and from the cupboards; to the painters and the trim layers and finally, the rainbow on the wall--it was real magic in it's unfolding. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who had a part in it's unfoldment! Also, a gigantic thank you to Rev Staci and Rev Cheryl for their whole-hearted support in this endeavor.

So now we have built it, how do we draw new kids in? Watch for some fun events in the near future to build the interest. Also, if you have kids or grandkids, invite them to check our youth church out. Let them see for themselves what a safe and fun learning place we have to offer. It takes mindfulness and many loving people to attract new kids to our youth church. And hey, often those wonderful kids bring parents with them!

So join with us in attracting new volunteers as well as kids into our new venue!

"We delight in the beauty of a butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."
Maya Angelou,                  --Rainbow in the clouds

What ideas do you have for bringing in new youth church members! Give a shout out if you would like to be a part of our new endeavor. Let's continue plans to create a safe place for kids to learn.
Love and Light, and laughter,
Rev Sandy Smith

 RELEASE THE LONELY     "To have a good friend you must be one."                                         --  Ralph Waldo Emerson This time of year can magnify loneliness, especially if you have made a recent move. It's the time of year to let the people you love know that you care. If you are thinking about asking someone out to coffee, follow through on the idea. Life is too short to let the gift of your life go by, keeping yourself to yourself. Spread the kindness. If you notice that someone in your neighborhood has just moved in, try bringing some cookies by. Think of all the possibilities you have to make new friends and to make new memories. Life is a chance to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Life is a gift, that's why we call it the present. "The message of the Christ is unconditional love, non-judgement, forgiveness, brotherhood, peace an...

 GOD IS GOOD, AND GOOD IS GOD " Love leads the way. That saying is a reminder to keep in contact with our higher power and share the the load when we need to. When I find myself wondering what to do next, or I have a challenge that elbows its way into my life, those are the very times when connecting with The Creative Intelligence of  God giudes me  to the solution." Life's Garden Grows,      --Sandra Lindsey Smith Ralph Waldo Emerson says that, " Love is a synonym for God ." Other synonyms are Peace, Truth, Kindness, and many more. The Dahli Lama says that, " Kindness and Compassion are my religion."   It doesn't really matter who says it, the meaning is still the same; treat others the way you would like to be treated.  It is said that plants and animals thrive when they are spoken to kindly (A little food and water are also nice). I always speak to my African Violets and tell them how lovely they are, and how shiny their leaves are. All th...

CELEBRATE YOUR SPIRITUAL SIDE " Relax into the knowing that inspiration brings ideas that allow us to be on purpose, to live. to help to serve." The Power of Decision ,                                            --Raymond Charles Barker The holidays are upon us and very often you hear "Happy Holidays" being gifted to you. Say "Happy Holidays" right back. Too often we take it for granted that everyone has the same Spiritual belief as we do.  The Truth is, that there are many different Spiritual Teachings practiced in current times, and being mindful of that is a wonderful thing. If someone says, "Merry Christmas", say, "Happy Holidays", or "The very same to you". Don't worry about the semantics, we are all wishing the best for each other. When you think back to the best Holiday you ever had, do you think about a particular present you received, or is it more the people and e...
