Two Rivers Center for Spiritual Living  

A Science of Mind Community

    Patty Rumpza, Minister

We are so pleased to welcome Rev. Patty to our congregation!

   Glenn Lewis,  President

Over the years, Glenn tried several traditional religions, searching and wanting to understand the “God concept.” While attending a self-improvement seminar in Denver, he was invited by new friends made at the seminar to attend the Mile Hi Church of Religious Science. Glenn connected instantly to the message of Religious Science.

He returned to Grand Junction after the seminar; his mission was to find a like-minded church in the valley. Checking the yellow pages, he found the Unity church and the ReligiousScienceCenter. He made the decision to attend the Religious Science church one Sunday and the following Sunday to attend the Unity church. He has yet to attend the Unity church.

Glenn became very active in the church, attending classes and serving on the Board of Trustees, resigning to leave Colorado for other employment.

Sixteen years later, in 2007, he moved back to Grand Junction and discovered the Science of Mind study group, which has become the TwoRiversCenter for Spiritual Living. Glenn is excited to again be with his church “family” and friends on a new spiritual journey, growing individually and as a group.

He follows Dr. Holmes’ simple wonderful philosophy: Change your thinking, Change your life.

Barbara Cotting, Secretary/Treasurer  
Barbara Cotting grew up right here in Grand Junction, Colorado, during the
1940’s and 50’s. After graduating from Western State College in Gunnison with
a degree in Mathematics, she began a life of adventure by moving to Fairbanks,
Alaska, in 1963. While living there she earned a Masters Degree in Psychology
and Counseling at the University of Alaska.

Barbara enjoyed a wide variety of careers - math teacher, office manager,
business owner, tour guide, family counselor, and legislative aide - all the
while searching for a fellowship where she felt her deep spiritual beliefs
would be understood and supported.

In 2008, 45 years after leaving here, Barbara loaded up her car, her camper,
her kitties, and her continuing search for a spiritual connection - and moved
back to Grand Junction. A few weeks later she attended Two Rivers Center for
Spiritual Living - and she immediately knew she‘d come to the right place and
became a charter member.

She began reading Ernest Holmes’ literature on her own and then signed up for
the Foundations Class last fall. It changed her life! Not only did it open
the doors to the “why’s and how’s” of Religious Science, teaching techniques
for application to daily life - it provided a fellowship where her life-long
beliefs were at last met with agreement, support, and validation. She was so
sure of the life-changing value of the Foundations Class that she has since
offered financial aid for others desiring to participate. Barbara continues
to affirm her support for this church by offering to serve as a member of
the Board.
