There are a number of inspiring signs of growth and maturing of OSC that we, your Core Council, would like to call to your attention.
- We have recently been blessed with new members Rev. Ron Rude, his wife, Gulya, who is a practitioner, their 16-yr-old daughter and 3-yr old son. (Rev. Ron ministered in Russia for 18 years, starting 3 centers there.)
- Our hot new OSC band was formed earlier this year and is hugely inspirational each Sunday.
- Karen Watson will be a Prac II student online this year, and will be eligible for licensing in spring 2012. She, Rev Ron and Gulya are all available to rotate with Rev Joanne for free treatments following Sunday services!
- OSC Children’s Circle has started receiving lessons in spiritual principles in addition to the excellent child care.
- This fall Rev Nancy will conduct OSC’s first Practitioner Class, and Rev Joanne will offer a Foundations Class. Rev Joanne conducted a Spiritual Mind Treatment Class in June, attracting 15 people. She expects this fall’s Foundations Class to be well attended!
- On some Sundays in the spring, our room seemed filled to capacity, with additional chairs brought in!
That said, we have been experiencing a summer financial slump and we need your help. As a rule, when we have an attendance of 50 or more we receive about the same amount as it costs us to operate for a week. Our May and June income was down, totaling $7,398; our average basic expense for two months is $11,080 ($5,540/mo). This produced a shortfall of $3,682.
We hope you will consider making an extra financial gift to OSC, and remember that your Center depends on your support too on those Sundays when you are away or enjoying the summer weather. There is a Pay Pal button on the OSC website if you care to use it.
We are so close to having the attendance and wherewithal to be self sustaining! Please reflect on what the OSC community means to you and support it now!
Let’s all continue to treat and vision for ways to unleash the financial abundance we know is within us. On Sunday night the core council will begin weekly group-visioning sessions and will continue to vision individually. A fall fundraiser is being planned and research is being done on larger locations that we expect will be needed soon. We appreciate your input, ideas and energy. Thank you for all that you do for OSC and please contact any council member with input or questions.
With Gratitude and Appreciation,
Your OSC Core Council,
Daisy McKinley, president
