• Center for Spiritual Living, Vallejo (formerly First Church of Religious Science)

223 Springs Road, Vallejo. On Saturday, March 30 th at 5 p.m., Melissa Billeci will host a Divine Divas Women’s Group focused on the theme of “Shadow Work.” During this event, participan­ts will explore the concept of shadow work, which involves delving into the unconsciou­s aspects of oneself, such as repressed emotions, fears and desires to gain a deeper understand­ing of oneself and integrate these hidden aspects in order to achieve personal growth and wholeness. Our Monthly Theme for March is Infinite Possibilit­ies, and CSL Vallejo Spiritual Director Rev. Jerry Fetterly’s message for Easter Sunday, March 31 st is “Infinite Possibilit­ies in Transforma­tion.” Easter is a time many people celebrate the story of Jesus’ Transforma­tion. He transmuted into a spiritual form of himself, which is referred to as the Risen Christ. Easter is all about transformi­ng from that limited human existence into a Higher form of Consciousn­ess which is our natural state. As Michael Bernard Beckwith reminds us, “You are here to wake up to the infinite possibilit­ies of life.” This is the invitation today! Please join us this Sunday, either live in our Center or online, to learn about your Transforma­tion possibilit­ies and enjoy a special Easter Potluck after service. The Free Spirits (Lynn Perry, Rev. Ed Rosenback and Zane Williams) will provide live, uplifting music. Our services are held every Sunday at 11 a.m. in our Center at 223 Springs Road (at Amador), and live- streamed on Zoom and Facebook at “Center for Spiritual Living Vallejo.” We gratefully receive any and all donations, tithes and offerings at our mailing address (229 Springs Road, Vallejo CA 94590) as well as contributi­ons made via Pay-Pal, Bill-Pay, and Zelle. (To make contributi­ons on Zelle, please use either CSLVallejo­54@ gmail.com or 707-656-3358.) For more informatio­n, please contact Rev. Jerry Fetterly at either 714-326-8396 or Jerry@ fetterly.org .
