Joyful News Volume XXII, No 1

January 1, 2018

My Dear Friends, With this January edition we begin the twenty second year of publishing our monthly newsletter, Joyful News. We are considering changing the format and content of the newsletter, please let us know what you think by answering two questions below. Your responses will help guide any changes we make.

Do you read the print edition? If you do, what sections or segments you refer to most frequently?. PLEASE CIRCLE the statement or statements that best describe your practice.

I always read the Joyful News from cover to cover each month. I usually read at least part of the newsletter. I seldom read the newsletter. I do not read the newsletter. I do refer to the newsletter from time to time. I usually put the newsletter directly into recycling. It would be ok with me if the newsletter was not printed but rather came to me electronically.

If you do read the Joyful News, which features do you read most frequently? Just place an X by the statement you feel most closely represents your practice.

There are several reasons we ask for your input. Our newsletter editor has recently withdrawn from that responsibility. So this is an opportunity to learn the value of Joyful News prior to seeking a new volun-teer. We do not know how many of our subscribers actually read and value this printed communication. Many other organizations have dropped their printed communications and replaced them with electronic communications, similar to our weekly email, Facebook or the website, where we can gather statistics that help us determine if our content is relevant or not. With our newsletter, the only consistent feedback we receive is from people who either respond by asking to be removed from the mailing list or those

Science of Mind Treatment

There is One Source. That Source creates everything out of Itself. It creates me. I

am therefore made of god stuff from the Thing Itself. I acknowledge the Wisdom,

Intelligence, Peace, Calm and Love that are qualities of the Infinite Source. I

know they, operate in, through and as me. These God qualities express as the

desire of my soul to grow and to deepen my awareness of the Divine. I freely

open myself to the expansion that comes with God consciousness. I choose to

embark on an expanded spiritual journey. It more completely manifests the

goodness that I am. This journey enlivens all my relationships. It is wonderfully sup-

ported by the Divine, the Infinite Source of all good. I give thanks for this vision of

divinity within and around me. I sing a new song of gratitude. I let go and let

God bring It’s goodness into my life. And so it is.
