Celebrating the Life of Ms. Lillian Flint

October 20, 1907 - August 19, 2008

Lillian started studying the Science of Mind in the 1950s at the San Francisco Center for Spiritual Living (then called the First Church of Religious Science).

Then 16-years ago, at the tender age of 84, Lillian was a founding member of the San Francisco Spiritual Enrichment Center (then called the Church for Today and Spiritual Arts Center). As a founding member of our spiritual community, Lillian shared her generous love and grace in many significant ways. She served on the Board of Trustees for 13-years and continuously held the Vision and foundation in consciousness for the unfoldment of the highest expression of love for this community.

Lillian was also a beacon of Love and Light to all who came through our doors, never missing a beat she knew who you were even after one meeting remembering your name, enveloping every person with love and a sincere interest in their well-being. She made each one of us feel loved, blessed and important. She is now 'singing with the angels' and I know her generous Spirit continues to bless each one of us, with love.
