From the Pastor’s Desk…

A reminder for Fall Quarter that we are on WINTER HOURS until the end of APRIL. Our Healing
service is at 2:00 PM and our worship service will be at 2:30 PM.

Our class format of quarterly units continues. For Thursday nights, each class will be part of a
three class unit, costing $30. Students who wish to participate will fill out a universal
registration form and submit it with their check before the class begins. Registration forms for
classes are available on the library table inside the Fellowship Hall part of our building. Starr
Henning is again leading a discussion group centered around our spiritual journeys on the 4 th
Thursday of each month at 7 PM.. What we’re learning along the way, what we’ve been
challenged by, etc. Instead of a fixed class fee, it will be a love offering at the time of the group
meetings.

those who are new to what that energy feels like, it’s a time to just sit in the circle and
experience that. Everyone will get an opportunity to share. If we have healing requests, we
will work with those as well. The donation for this class is collected at the door that evening.

have an interest!

DIVINE STUDIES CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS Have you ever thought about becoming a
Minister, Medium or Healer? Maybe a Teacher of Divine Spiritual Metaphysics? Or even just
taking in depth classes to deepen your own understanding of our philosophy? There is open
enrollment for our certification programs! Students can begin at any time. If you would like a
handbook for the classes and programs please email our Registrar, Rev. Sandra Spyker. Her
email is sjsteger1@gmail.com You can also email Rev. Laura at percheronhitch6@yahoo.com
Our programs include Minister, Celebrant Minister (for those more interested in a Ministry
outside of the church setting) Energy Worker (Healing modalities), Teacher and Mediumship.
The first year, all students have 10 required “Core Classes” or Basic Unfoldment classes. We
are also accepting Ordination by Sanction/transfer of certificate applications. All of this can be
discussed with Rev Spyker. This might be the perfect opportunity to begin working on your
path to getting the education you need for certifications from our church. We will need
certified workers for the continued success of our mission to serve our community with a
metaphysically based philosophy, including sharing of our spiritual gifts of healing, mediumship,
teaching and preaching. We also accept Retreat students who simply wish to take Seminary
level classes for their own enjoyment. These classes are intensive! They are in depth, serious
classes to prepare students for the Ministry in whatever form you wish it to take.
Our Scholarship Fund, donated in memory of Roger W. Schlack, is available for to our Seminary
Students. The guidelines voted on by the membership are as follows: The first class must be
paid in full by the student. Subsequent classes are 50% covered by scholarship funding.
Also, consider donating to this fund so the next generations of church workers can get their
certifications and carry on the legacy of the last 76 years as Bay City’s only Divine Spiritual
Metaphysical church. We make it our mission to empower people in our services with tools
and insights from their own Guides so that they, too, can realize their own potential
Christhood.
