                     HAPPY NEW YEAR ……….BY REV. PATTY RUMPZA

Happy New Year! My heart is overflowing with gratitude and excitement as I start my new year in my new home and spiritual community. Many thanks to all of you who made this happen, to the Board of Trustees for their leadership and to my friend, Deb Smith, for all the work in preparation of my arrival. Also, I have an abundance of appreciation for Rev. Sheryl for her love, leadership and guidance. I feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful place to call home.

2012 is going to be an exciting year! Our theme for the year is “Sowing Seeds of Greatness.” We will use an Ernest Holmes classic, A New Design for Living, as our anchor book. Each month we will also offer an additional book to support our monthly theme. My goal for all of us is to be re-energized in our beloved philosophy and also to deepen and broaden our spiritual practices and daily application. Additionally, it is to provide tools for us each to have the best year of our life…and for Two Rivers CSL to become a greater light within the community of Grand Junction.

Our philosophy changes lives…which I know from firsthand experience. I believe from the depths of my heart it is time for us to stop being the best kept secret in town. It’s exciting to open up to all of the possibilities for this upcoming year. Soon we will have a youth and family program, additional classes and activities, a pastoral care program and greater visibility in our service work in the Grand Junction community. There are endless possibilities of what we can do as we fully implement our mission to love and be of service. We will have many opportunities for each and every one to share your vision, ideas and suggestions for Two Rivers CSL. Please know my door is always open, and I welcome all input. We are doing this together....creating a world that works for everyone.

This year we are to live our greatness in all areas of our life! As we live our greatness, we will have an abundance of good to share with our greater local, national, and international community. Now is the time, and we are the people that we have been waiting for.

I feel so very blessed to be your new minister. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.

Life is Good!

Abundant Blessings and Love,
Rev. Patty

                                                     WELCOME, REV. PATTY

Our affirmations, prayers and visioning were fulfilled at last, when Patty Rumpza agreed to be our new, full-time minister. For those of you who haven’t met her yet, you will know immediately that we’ve made the right choice. Her personality is effervescent, her credentials are impressive, and her vision for our church is exciting!
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1962, Patty was the youngest of three children, and the only girl. As an adult, she sought warmer climes and moved south to Houston, Texas, in 1982, where she worked for a construction company as a bookkeeper/accountant. She was introduced to Religious Science in 1987 during a visit to her mother in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and she was hooked!

Patty joined the Creative Life Spiritual Center in Houston and assumed a variety of responsibilities. She was the Youth Director overseeing a team of volunteers, as well as a youth group of 30 teens. She also wrote curriculum and recruited and trained youth volunteers.

In 1992, Patty moved to Oklahoma City to head up the youth ministry program at United Life Church, and to become the assistant to the National Youth Minister for United Church of Religious Science. She traveled all over the country to work with regional directors and attend camps.

After moving back to Houston in 1994, Patty took over the youth program at Creative Life Spiritual Center. She became a Licensed Practitioner and started ministerial school, graduating from Holmes Institute with a Master of Divinity in June of 2000. She accepted a position of Assistant Minister at CLSC, overseeing the youth and family ministry. She was in charge of pastoral care and volunteers, and taught Science of Mind classes and workshops.

Patty initiated Life Works Center for Spirited Living in the spring of 2002, where she facilitated a monthly women’s group with 10-12 women, taught classes, started a children’s program, and conducted workshops. She was ordained on October 16, 2004.
She took over the youth program at Creative Life Spiritual Center.

For the last several years, Patty has been serving CSL communities in Houston, Tulsa and Oklahoma City who were without ministers, speaking, teaching classes and conducting workshops. She also volunteered with the recovery efforts in Joplin, Missouri, after the tornado this spring. This woman has “been there, done that,” and she is passionate when it comes to the principles of Science of Mind.

We couldn’t be happier that she has accepted our offer to become our minister. Please get ready to welcome Patty Rumpza when she arrives in January.

                  Practitioner Message from Virginia Dannels, RScP

“We recognize the One Power here, now present within All Life,” from Effective Prayer, by Ernest Holmes. I am thinking of 2012 as a new idea, a fresh beginning for everyone, to choose good, loving experiences in our daily activities.

As an example, think of the wintry months. Do we think of them as a negative or positive idea? Can we choose to see harmony, order and beauty in the snow flakes on the ground and mountains? We are using the peaceful, orderly Law of spiritual mental attraction, constantly, as we clearly know that we are expanding our good understanding of the One Universal Intelligence, in, around, and through each of us.

Each morning, meditate on Peace of Mind/Body being you, me, and everyone of right actions; let this be your daily experience. Remember, God Consciousness says, “Yes, it is so now, in what you think, say and do for today.” What you think goes out full circle, and returns back to you, now. Focus your attention on what you want to express, and the Law of Mind eliminates all sense of bondage and fear, instantly, easily and naturally as you remain steadfast in your faith and beliefs for a Happy New Year ~ 2012


                  Spiritual Mind Treatment by Virgina Dannels, RScP

Today I affirm I have a fresh new idea in my Perfect Life that fills my body and mind with joy, peace, harmony, order, and beauty.

I declare a hundred times today, “Good and more good is mine. There is no limit to the good which is mine. Everywhere I go, I see this good. I feel it and I experience it. It gently presses itself against me, flows through me now. It expresses itself in me and multiplies itself around me.

Divine Wisdom, clear understanding is my choice of loving thoughts to be my whole life of God in action, now.

I give thanks for clarity in all areas o my life. I am Perfect, Whole and Complete.

And so it is
Virginia

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION/VORTEX DISCUSSION GROUP

We will be using the book and CD “Getting Into The Vortex” by Abraham (Esther & Jerry Hicks) to explore how to be in the Vortex. Living a better-feeling life really comes down to one thing only: coming into alignment with the Energy of our Source. Abraham reminds us that we are truly Source Energy focused into our physical bodies, and that a conscious Connection to that Broader Non-Physical part of us is necessary if we are to be the joyful Beings that we were born to be. This wonderful alignment is called Getting into the Vortex. Come for great discussion and the amazing experience of a Vortex meditation!

BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP

We will be discussing the book Manifesting Change: It Couldn’t Be Easier by Mike Dooley, which is the recommended reading for the January 2012 theme of “Sowing Seeds of Change.” This book will take us behind the curtains of TIME and SPACE, revealing who you really are, how you got here, and why you chose this adventure. Expect some lively discussion!

TAIZE SERVICE

Come experience a Taize candlelight service, a time for an inner journey during prayer, song, silence and meditation. This is a powerful time of coming together with others and going within to communicate with your Higher Self. The songs are simple and repetitive in nature, helping us focus and contemplate on a single aspect of God for an extended period of time. (If you arrive late or leave early, please do so quietly.)
