We are grateful to share space with the Afrikan Children's Advanced Learning Center and to have had overflow attendance at our inaugural Wednesday and Sunday services. As we adapt to our new environment, new opportunities arise for us to continually enhance the Heart and Soul Center of Light experience for all of our congregants and to accommodate as many who want to share in our service celebrations as possible. One such opportunity concerns our meditation services.
Although we truly love the idea of a half-hour meditation service, we also recognize our responsibility to accommodate ALL Heart and Soul Center of Light congregants as comfortably as we can. We discovered last Wednesday and Sunday that far more people arrived after meditation began than we could reasonably accommodate in a "overflow" fashion. Congregants who were already seated and engaged in meditation found themselves distracted by the growing crowd. Because we always want congregants to experience meditation with as little disruption as possible, we will close the doors to the sanctuary shortly after meditation begins, and then reopen them when meditation ends.
Therefore, we have made a decision to shorten our meditation services to 15 minutes on both Wednesdays and Sundays. With this change, no late arrival will ever have to stand waiting longer than 12 minutes before entering one of our celebration services. In an effort to accommodate more people, we have also added an “Early Bird” Sunday Service.
Effective Wednesday, November 12, 2009 and until further notice, the schedule of services for Heart and Soul Center of Light will be as follows:
Sunday Services8:30 to 8:45 AM - Early Bird Meditation Service
8:45 to 10:00 AM - Early Bird Celebration Service

Thank you for your gracious consideration of us as we continue to live Spirit's divine vision of the unfoldment of our perfect space with ample room for all.
Much Love and Appreciation,
Rev. Andriette
