Welcome Home!
Center for Spiritual Living - Redding provides spiritual tools to transform our personal lives and help make the world a better place.
Center for Spiritual Living is a spiritual community and way of life that honors all paths to God and helps people to discover a personal relationship with God. When God is the focus of our spirituality, then other areas of our lives fall into place—we are happier, we can do more for others, be better stewards of the Earth, and bring peace and harmony to the world.
We extend a warm welcome to all people in search of a spiritual community where they are embraced, respected, and accepted for who they are and inspired and supported to grow to their highest potential.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.
Are you feeling alone, lost, empty or disconnected? Are you in crisis? Are you lacking fulfillment, looking for answers, healing, and a spiritual home?
At Center for Spiritual Living, you will belong to a like-minded community, a spiritual home, where you can discoverpeace of mind, healing, and inspiration, and live with a personal relationship with God. We look forward to meeting you in person! »
May Peace Practice
“Life must blossom like a flower offering itself to the Divine.”
~~ Inspired words from The Mother, wife of Sri Aurobindo
This month practice peace by spending time reflecting on the beauty of the flowers that blossom in the spring. Linger a bit longer on your walks to take in the color and fragrance of the flowers. Put yourself in communion with Nature and be aware of the consciousness there. See the Divine quality of Light being expressed. Notice when the sun sets that the plants take on a different energy. I invite you to take a walk on our grounds to witness the offering of love from our Landscape Seva Team as they have created beauty on your path at every turn. As you make your pilgrimage through the flowers, learn to be silent so you can hear them.
Peace be with you,
Rev. Sue MillerBorn

Pastors’ Message
Outer Life
We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete
emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
This is our opportunity to bid you all farewell, as we leave in June to enjoy our new adventure of retirement or re-wirement. We will be living in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, area where we have family and grandchildren. This is the place where we met and married twenty-five years ago, so it will be a homecoming of sorts. It has been a joy and a pleasure to have served as your pastors these past almost four years. Living in Redding has been an adventure and a delight we will always remember.
Bob and I have been blessed by your participation at the Center in whatever capacity you have chosen. It has been an exchange of the energy of love. By allowing us to minister to you, you have blessed us. Please know we will miss you and all the good times we had. Love is the one thing we take with us on our journey, so we take your love with us.
Your talented team of ministers, who have served as assistant and staff ministers, will step up their activities to fill our place. Rev. Sue MillerBorn and Rev. Mary Mitchell, who have been serving as Assistant Ministers, will step up and become your interim Co-Pastors. Your three staff ministers, Rev. Sharon Kennedy, Rev. Pam Sanchez, and Rev. Kay Stewart, will support them as needed with Sunday talks and classes. You are in good hands, spiritually.
The Board of Trustees of the Center will continue with their duties to ensure the Center operates successfully. It will begin a careful and thoughtful process of examining and clarifying the values and vision of this Center. This process could take up to a year. Some time in this year they will form a Candidating Committee. It’s job will be to review and interview candidates from our Center for Spiritual Living’s field of ministers and present finalists for our members to vote on and choose your next pastor(s). Rev. Mary and Rev. Sue may choose to be considered for the position permanently (individually or jointly) at that time.
In the meantime, please continue to support the Center with your presence, your financial good, and your love. Bob and I are just a phone call or an email away (judithchurchman@gmail.com and bobinluck@yahoo.com). Please stay in touch.
Knowing you are always blessed,
Judith and Bob
