Reading for Two People in a Sitting
Hi, everyone.  This Thursday night at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working on giving messages to two or more people with you.  Each medium will be asked to give a reading (intuitive or mediumistically) to two other people with them (the “sitters”).  Mediums must focus on each sitter separately and learn to end one reading with a sitter and move into the next reading for a different sitter.

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.

Prayer for Ukraine ... by Marianne Williamson
Dear God,
Please send miracles
to the people of Ukraine.
Send angels to minister unto them.
Bring calm and peace to their frightened hearts.
Awaken in Vladimir Putin
the truth of who we are.
Soften his heart and remind him of his soul.
Please God, may there be peace.
Amen

Why we are seeing so many sunflowers lately?  The sunflower is Ukraine's national flower and has quickly become a symbol of solidarity with the country and its people.
