We are asking for love donations at this time during our online and hybrid church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times. We are meeting less often in person so we have less opportunity to collect donations in person to help us with ongoing operating expenses that need to be paid: partial rent, full insurance, Zoom fees, payment to  the national organization, to name a few.

Two In-Person SCOL Services a Month Now: Our church is having two hybrid services (services that are in-person at UUFSB and also live-streamed on Zoom) a month now. They are usually on the first and third Saturdays of the month, but this may not always be the case.  Our next Hybrid service will be on April 20.  Note: The Hybrid service that was scheduled for April 6 has been changed to ZOOM ONLY at 12:00 PM noon. If anything changes concerning our in-person services, we will let you know.
At this point, we are not requiring you to wear a mask but you may certainly do so. (Health protocols may change due to changing NY state and UUFSB mandates.) The room for our services in the Religious Education wing has two portable air-purifying systems that will be used during the time we are there. 
We require a minimum of four people to attend (not counting the platform workers and helpers). Please let us know if you can commit to coming, and how often, to our hybrid services. Also, we are looking for more people to serve at our hybrid services.  If you have an interest in offering a Spiritual Address, offering a guided meditation, or being a greeter, please let us know in an email.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra at 3:00AM EDT
& Holi festival

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra
This eclipse serves as a prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Aries- and Libra-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. It’s a time to resolve matters, strike a balance, take a lesson, and move on, but take some time with this–eclipses can temporarily hide a part of our lives for us to focus on another. Ultimately, we should be striving for a balance.
This eclipse affects people with personal planets and points at 0 to 10 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.  Much more to read at: https://cafeastrology.com/events/full-moon-lunar-eclipse-march-25-2024/   Chart from: https://www.astro-seek.com/

Holi is the Hindu festival of colors that celebrates the triumph of good over evil, good harvest, and fertility.

Photo Psychometry
Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday on Zoom, we will be using our psychic skills to determine what was going on with our fellow students when they were younger. Please send me a photo of yourself via email or text. The photo should be of you in your high school yearbook or a photo of you about that time in your life. We will tune in to what was going on with you when the photo was taken. We will also leave time for a message circle  at the end of class.
••• Please email our church in advance for the Zoom link: [email protected]
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
••• Please contact Frank before Thursday, 2 pm, to let him know if you are coming or not.: [email protected] 
If you would like to attend this class and are younger than 18 years of age, Frank must receive permission from your parents or guardian in writing in an email prior to the class.
••• The cost for this class is $10.00, or $6.00 if that is more affordable. Please pay on our website at this link:

Note concerning the Mediumship class fee; starting sometime late March the fee will increase to $12.00. If someone absolutely cannot afford that, he/she should talk to Frank.
Frank Kotowski is facilitating this mediumship group, which is open to both SCOL members and non members. These classes are to help you build your intuitive and mediumistic abilities. Beginners are welcome!

We are asking for love donations at this time during our online and hybrid church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times. We are meeting less often in person so we have less opportunity to collect donations in person to help us with ongoing operating expenses that need to be paid: partial rent, full insurance, Zoom fees, payment to  the national organization, to name a few.

=======================
Two In-Person SCOL Services a Month Now: Our church is having two hybrid services (services that are in-person at UUFSB and also live-streamed on Zoom) a month now. They are usually on the first and third Saturdays of the month, but this may not always be the case. 
Our next Hybrid services will be on March 16 and April 6.  If anything changes concerning our in-person services, we will let you know.
At this point, we are not requiring you to wear a mask but you may certainly do so. (Health protocols may change due to changing NY state and UUFSB mandates.) The room for our services in the Religious Education wing has two portable air-purifying systems that will be used during the time we are there. 
We require a minimum of four people to attend (not counting the platform workers and helpers). Please let us know if you can commit to coming, and how often, to our hybrid services. Also, we are looking for more people to serve at our hybrid services.  If you have an interest in offering a Spiritual Address, offering a guided meditation, or being a greeter, please let us know in an email. Please email our church with your reply or for any questions you may have:  [email protected]
