Dr. Kim Clarity, one of the SCPL founding ministers resigned from our beloved Center October 1, 2009. Dr. Kim is excited to follow her calling with the newly established Seeking Clarity Seminars. Dr. Kim will always be loved and honored for her 10 years of dedicated service. Her inspiring talks and years of leading the way with expansive vision took SCPL to where it is today. She is dearly loved and appreciated by so many. She so often taught that "To teach is to demonstrate." As the Divine idea called Seeking Clarity Seminars began to grow, Dr. Kim felt a "shift" in her life, knowing that she must go where she was being led. We thank he for her commitment to the Center and all of the lives uplifted and empowered in her presence. We know the ripple effect of her teachings are eternal.

Thank you Rev. Dr. Kim Clarity. We know the vision of Seeking Clarity Seminars is moving out into the world to teach and uplift the planet one person at a time.

Reverend Russ Miller

The dear founding Father of our SCPL, Rev. Russ Miller made his transition to the next plane of existence on August 18, 2009. At the request of his wife Ellen, SCPL did a short memorial as part of the Sunday service on August 23.
 
The fellowship shared stories, love and memories of Rev. Russ. A "From The Heart" from 2007 was played for the congregation and everyone enjoyed hearing his voice again, and listened to a recording of Rev. Russ singing "Shine Through Me." There were many tears of joy.
 
Rev. Russ was 83 years old at his passing, and what an impact he had on this planet! Every great soul that has walked through the doors of SCPL have felt the ripple effect of Rev. Russ's love. Russ was a dedicated meditator, and was given his TM mantra 50 years ago at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's University.

Working also in the capacity of Artist Development Russ signed Eddie Rabbit, Judy Collins and many others into their recording contracts. Friends with Jim Morrison and many great talents, Russ had an amazing musical journey. He was a recording artist as well, recording his gospel album “Somebody Bigger Than You and I” in 1956.
