CSLT has been presented with a most intriguing possibility… of moving to a combined location offering many of the activities we don’t have now and would like to.

Currently Sunday Service is at Live Theater Workshop – which has been a most accommodating landlord for us since June 2022.

But as we grow, our requirements and our dreams mean we need a space that offers CSLT and our larger community options for …

Sanctuary space and office in one location A more central location..

More people attending & participating

Social and fellowship whenever we gather (Potlucks!)

Special events and holiday observance on other than Sundays

On-site storage with less set-up and take away for

Altared States

Our musicians

Greeters and the welcome area, bookstore, etc.

Seating without stairs for easier access

Better technology allowing us to share online easier & better

Now we have the possibility of achieving these and more:

Rev. Rhoni, our Practitioners, the Board and Michael Zimmerman as Music Director have been in conversation with Rev. Dr. Jonathan and the Board at Unity regarding CSLT using their Sanctuary on Sunday and having a separate office and storage space on the 18-acre campus located at River & Camino Blanco.

CSLT renting space there would include a one address home with:

Sanctuary for service at 11 a.m. Sunday morning

Harmony hall for social and fellowship

An office & space separate from the Unity building.

Our musicians could plug-in and play

Technology that truly supports our needs Seating for 175 on one level (no stairs and a center aisle)

Potlucks and other socials in Harmony Hall next to the Sanctuary

Special events not restricted to Sunday morning: Endings/Beginnings, etc.

Classrooms with built-in technology

The labyrinth

A more central location

Storage near that would facilitate Altared States set-ups much more easily

Space nearby that would hold and display CSLT materials

There would be a new sign at the Camino Blanco entry with equal space for both communities.

Moving our Service to 11 a.m. is a large request of our community. Unity would be moving their Service earlier to 9:00 or 9:30 to provide that time for us. It will allow for a 30-minute break for shared fellowship and our Meditation.

To accomplish this major change we would need to sell the office space at 911 S Craycroft. Being released from our current mortgage and the monthly payment to LTW would essentially leave our monthly expenses unchanged but with a much larger center for our community.

Rev. Rhoni and the Board will have Q&A time available after Service at LTW on Sundays 10/20, 10/27 & 11/3. A special Zoom Room will be made available for those unable to attend at LTW. If you are unable to attend those sessions, please email your questions to Rev. Rhoni at revrhonitretsven@gmail.com Be sure to include your best contact information.

We would have a true Sanctuary with space to grow and celebrate all the aspects of being a community. We have grown over the last few months, this location and all it offers could provide the full-on facilities and options we need to thrive.

This possibility was discussed at length during CSLT’s Annual Meeting. It was received very positively by the members in attendance with one dissenting. We look forward to enlarging this conversation to the entire community.

On 10/20/24 there will be a combined meeting of the CSLT leadership and Unity’s Board. Rev. Jonathan received a large supporting response when he described the possibility at their Service on 10/13.

If we proceed with this there will be a special meeting on 11/10/24 to vote on the approval to sell the 911 S Craycroft space. As always, only Members will have true votes, though all will have a chance to share their opinion.

Rev. Rhoni and the Board look forward to hearing from our members and larger community in respect to this possibility.
