Welcome!
After an extended time of physical isolation and ‘pause’ that we experienced during Covid-19, our NHCRS Community remained strong and connected as we shifted entirely to online platforms like Facebook and Zoom. We are grateful and excited to welcome folks back to our Center as we open to in-person services and we welcome YOU to join in. No matter your background, religious affiliation, or current state of being and feeling, you are welcome here.
We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating, whether in person or in an online forum, and we want to help make your first experience of NHCRS, A Center for Spiritual Living, a great one!
SERVICE TIMES
We gather on Sundays and Wednesdays for Celebration Services in-person* and on Zoom or Facebook
- Sunday Service: 9:45 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. in person. Our 9:45 a.m. service is also offered on Zoom and Facebook Live.
- Wednesday Evening Service: 6:50 p.m. Meditation, 7:00 p.m. Service
*We continue to follow Covid Safety Protocols to protect all our congregants while in the Sanctuary (masks, social distancing, sanitizing etc.)
The Zoom Team is available prior to and after service to host on-line fellowship and to help with any technical questions or difficulties. After service, we invite you to stay and mingle, or partake in a “minute miracle” with a licensed practitioner in a private Zoom Breakout Room or by remaining in the sanctuary after service for an in-person affirmative prayer.
What can I expect?
HOW LONG IS THE SERVICE AT NHCRS?
In total, a NHCRS service is about 60 minutes in length. Services begin with the band leading the congregation in music – song lyrics are projected onto the screens if you wish to sing along. After a brief Invocation and Welcome message, one of our ministers will come out to share a thoughtful and inspirational message sharing the teaching of Religious Science.
WHAT IS RELIGIOUS SCIENCE?
Religious Science is a spiritual philosophy developed by Dr. Ernest Holmes, a philosopher who rigorously studied all of the world’s Spiritual paths. His book, The Science of Mind, distilled the commonalities of world religions into the foundation of the principles of Religious Science. The Science of Mind is a philosophy, a faith, and a way of life. We honor and bless all spiritual paths, acknowledging the divinity in everyone.
Take a listen to a recent Sunday Talk on our YouTube channel, or visit our online community on Facebook and Instagram and you’ll get a sense of the teachings and how to live them.
As part of the global New Thought community, Centers for Spiritual Living, we support the Mission to provide spiritual tools for personal and global transformation. Our PURPOSE is to awaken humanity to its spiritual magnificence. Our VISION is a world that works for everyone.
We believe that life is intended to be good. It is this belief and philosophy that we desire to share and welcome you into today. We trust you will discover something that calls to you and encourage you to return again.
WHAT’S THE CULTURE LIKE AT NHCRS?
We tend to be joyous, casual, and relaxed at NHCRS. Typically, we enjoy the alfresco-ness of Southern California by hosting Fellowship on the covered Patio with coffee and treats after each service. We have adapted to this online setting via a “Virtual Patio” gathering on Zoom after each service (and will continue to do so indefinitely). Its a great way to meet people or request a “Miracle Minute” (a one-on-one, private affirmative prayer we call “treatment”.) We’re a very friendly bunch – come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week and create a community for each other. Youth Church is open for our 9:45 am service. Children younger than age 3 are welcome in our Mommy, Daddy, and Me room in the back of the Sanctuary.
Let us know you’re coming
Ready to check out NHCRS in person? We can’t wait to welcome you in North Hollywood! A parking lot attendant will help direct you to a spot – let them know you are visiting for the first time and they will be the first gracious smile you see! They can direct you to the sanctuary and the Welcome Table on the patio and would be happy to answer any questions you have.
