Spiritual Healing Requests
==================================================
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.
Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
To remove all obstructions 

From my mind and body 
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.

I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust 
and love in the power of God.

Mercury retrograde: May 10–June 3.
Shedding superficiality for self-assurance, and mediocrity for authenticity.
&  Scorpio-Taurus total Lunar Eclipse, May 15-16
"During this year of intense transitions, I hope you know that “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.” as the English mystic Julian of Norwich tells us.
With the war in Ukraine and the war against women (and everything else) here in the US, we can easily fall into despair and worry, but if we look at the bigger picture, it is clear that the world is at a crossroads -- will we choose the future and freedom, or the past and more domination by the patriarchy.
Instead of despair, we are called to stand up for our values (a Taurus lesson) and take responsibility for our world (Saturn in Aquarius).
Mercury goes retrograde Tuesday, May 10th.  This retrograde is a call for us to let go of superficiality and deepen into the sacred OM of life.
Then on May 15-16, those of us in the Americas will see the Scorpio total Lunar Eclipse.  This eclipse works with the Mercury retrograde, inviting us to really look at our shadows to see what is holding us back for our individual sense of freedom.
Once we acknowledge that it is our divine Feminine nature that speaks through the soul, we can embody it in our outer lives."

Bereavement Notice
===============================================
We are sad to inform you that Susan Cahill, a friend of our church and a minister at The Journey Within church in New Jersey, recently passed.
She is survived by her husband, daughter, and granddaughter. Susan and Valerie took many classes together and then Frank and Su followed suit. At the beginning of the pandemic, Susan appeared at several of our Zoom services and served on the platform.

The picture is from a class in August 2017.

Spiritual Healing Requests
==================================================
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.
Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
To remove all obstructions 

From my mind and body 
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.

I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust 
and love in the power of God.
