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.

Announcing a new show from fellow congregant, Kyle Blumenthal, at The Reboli Center for Art and History in Stony Brook.
The Reboli Center presents BLOOM, a mixed media, group exhibition celebrating the end of winter and the rebirth of the environment that surrounds us. On through Sunday, July 10, 2022. See poster below. For more information visit: https://rebolicenter.org/events/2022/4/12/bloom

Kyle Blumenthal art

A note from Kyle: "The polyptych landscape shown here with squares and triangles was inspired by Andy Warhol. He likes square canvases which is not the norm and it is a concept of people taking photos that are fragmented. He loved the camera."

Full Pink Moon in Libra 2:55PM ET

Know that if you feel mounting tension in the days leading up to the Full Moon, it’s a sign that something has to be released, tension somewhere has to be cut in order to continue. Where do you need to create greater balance in your life? Often tension is a result of things being imbalanced for too long, so use these energies to bring your life back into an even flow.

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.

Last Sunday 4/3
Many thanks to our gifted Summerland team for another successful "Healings and Readings" fundraiser: Valerie, Frank, Su, Tara, Robert, Karen, and Barbara.
And many thanks to all who came for a reading or healing and supported our church.

==================================================
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.
