Andrea Asebedo, Senior Minister and
Pastor at the Spiritual Enrichment Center, who has served the church since
1981 announced her retirement effective August 15, 2008. Reverend Andrea has
served the local church which became known today as the Spiritual Enrichment

youth programs in 2004 and currently serves on the Ethics Committee.
In 1999 Andrea was awarded an honorary

became an ordained minister in 1993, which is a designation by Religious
Science International as a “minister for life.” Andrea will remain in
community at the church as a retired ordained minister dedicating the focus
of her time to her psychotherapy private practice in Redding and Mt. Shasta
as well as presenting workshops and seminars.
The retirement celebration, "The
Journey", representative of Andrea’s life long spiritual journey will be

Annual Parking Lot Sale
Friday, Sept 19, 2008 from 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. &
Saturday, Sept 20 from 7:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
We are poised to
once again host the largest fund-raising opportunity of the year for our
Center – our Annual Parking Lot Sale, which made the Center over $6,000 last
year! To raise the maximum amount of money for our Center requires a major
effort from us all.
This year we ask you to:
-
Tell your friends about the
sale and ask them if they have good stuff to donate.
-
Donate good stuff yourself.
-
Sign up for a shift the
week before the sale to help organize the good stuff.
-
Sign up to help for a shift
at the sale of the good stuff.
-
Buy some good stuff at the
sale.
As you can tell –
we think there will be a lot of good stuff! What is good stuff? We notice
that top selling items in previous years include baby furniture, furniture,
jewelry, toys, camping gear and tools. Clothes and books sell well, too;
however, could we ask that only really good, clean things be donated? We
also notice that large appliances and computers aren’t selling so we
regretfully cannot accept these items. Thank you so much for your
assistance in making this year’s Annual Parking Lot Sale a delight.
We can receive
items starting Sunday, Sept 14 after Services.
“A day that observes
global cease fire and nonviolence…an invitation to all nations and people to
honor a cessation of hostilities for the Day.” Amended UN Resolution
September, 2001.
This is a day
dedicated to the celebration and observation of peace. The Spiritual
Enrichment Center will be honoring the day with an evening service dedicated
to Peace which will include meditation and music. As part of our Peace
Center activities, Rev. Sue MillerBorn will officiate at the service. We
invite you to come and hold the consciousness set by the United Nations that
Peace Prevails on Earth. The
service will include the opportunity to share in prayer, silence and
reflections for Peace. This beautiful and quiet evening will fill your soul
and help hold the light of peace for the world.
The public is invited to attend. For more
information call the Spiritual Enrichment Center at 221-4849.
The
Spiritual Enrichment Center’s Health Ministry team has organized A Day of
Healing. Come and experience multiple modalities of healing in the quiet
candlelight of our grace-filled sanctuary. We have many gifted healing
practitioners who will be providing such healing modalities as massage,
reiki, reflexology, healing touch and, of course, spiritual mind treatment.
Your day
begins with focusing on one area of your life that you choose to have healed
and released. It could be a physical ailment, an emotional or mental issue
or perhaps you would like to manifest something else in your life. You
write that down on a slip of paper and carry it with you. You then sit with
a prayer practitioner for spiritual mind treatment. From there you move
through different stations in the Sanctuary to receive 45 minutes of
hands-on healing.
The
entire day is carried out in as much silence as possible. Once done with
your healing treatments in the Sanctuary, you drop the slip of paper into a
flame releasing everything written on it.
A Day of Healing--a day of rejuvenation, a day of love.
Please join us. Namaste.
$50 per person, held in the Sanctuary.
For more information call the Spiritual Enrichment Center at 221-4849.

The Endowment Fund
Committee invites you to attend a breakfast of pancakes and sausage in the
Social Hall. We have scheduled live musical entertainment just for you! Please
bring your piggy for counting. Thank you for your participation in this
project. These little guys brought in $2,300 last year! Please help us plan
