Staying Together While Staying Apart
As a community, we at Progressive Spiritualist Church have made the choice to close our doors and
suspend activity in support of the world-wide effort to control the spread of COVID-19, the
Coronavirus.
While our physical location waits quietly and patiently for our return, we go about the business
of life.
Life sure looks different today than it did two weeks ago, or even different than it did yesterday.
I anticipate continued closures and restrictions as we work together in our cities and towns doing
our best to act responsibly and cautiously to manage the spread of this disease. My favorite phrase
over the last several days has become, "Just roll with it."
As I think about our church family, I am reminded that our connection is so much more than the time
that we spend gathered together on Sunday mornings. Our connection is soul to soul, spirit to spirit,
heart to heart. We are united by a common vision of a peaceful world where everyone is loved unconditionally.
The front page of our Sunday bulletin reminds us that:
In this place, I am peace.
In this place, I am joy.
In this place, I am a Divine Spark of God,
Sharing love, light, peace, and joy!
Know that we have a powerful connection through spirit that surpasses time, space, and all things physical.
I encourage you, for the time being, to change this up a bit:
In our hearts, we are peace.
In our hearts, we are joy.
In our hearts, we carry a Divine Spark of God,
Sharing love, light, peace, and joy!
I invite you to join me in this simple daily meditation to support our connectedness while our church building
remains closed. Take five or ten minutes a day and picture in your mind our church full of people, the ones you
know and the ones that we will meet; see their faces; hear "I'll Fly Away" playing in the background,
and feel the love and warmth that fills our sanctuary on Sunday mornings. As you visit our church in your mind,
focus on the powerful energy of the day outlined below. Doing this simple exercise together will help keep us
connected spiritually and energetically while we are apart physically.
- Sunday - Love
- Monday - Strength
- Tuesday - Compassion
- Wednesday - Courage
- Thursday - Peace
- Friday - Faith
- Saturday - Joy
May the God of your understanding bless and keep you; may you feel safe and protected each day!
Blessings,
Rev. Margee Jaeger
Senior Pastor
