Bob had been courageously dealing with many health issues for several years. He was a Vietnam War veteran, a doctor who did his best to save lives in the company of others on a U.S. Navy swift boat. After service, he had a long medical practice as a doctor and was beloved by all his patients and medical staff. He will long be remembered as a brave and selfless individual. May angels and Infinite Intelligence guide him through his transition to the Summerland. May they also protect and comfort his family, especially wife and soul mate Camille. ------------------------------------- Looking Ahead ------------------------------------- MEDITATION & BLESSINGS Every Wednesday at 7:00 PM Zoom MEDIUMSHIP DEVELOPMENT Every Thursday at 7:30 PM Zoom ------------------------------------- NEXT WEEK Tuesday Aug 9 Zoom SERVICE @ 12:00 PM noon MESSAGE CIRCLE after service ------------------------------------- Tuesday Aug 12 Zoom MEDITATION & MESSAGES @ 7:00 PM ------------------------------------- Saturday Aug 16 Hybrid SERVICE at UUFSB @ 10:30 AM ------------------------------------- Monday Aug 18 Zoom WRITERS CLUB @ 7:00-9:00 PM ------------------------------------- Tuesday Aug 19 In-Person MEDIUMSHIP CLASS at UUFSB 7:00-9:00 PM ------------------------------------- Wednesday Aug 20 Zoom "AWARENESS, INTUITION and MEDIUMSHIP" @ 7:30 PM ------------------------------------- Saturday August 30 Zoom DISCOVERY CIRCLE @ 2:00-3:00 pm On William Sidney Mount Facilitated by Suzanne Garrison-Terry.

In ancient times, many cultures believed exceptionally hot weather was directly related to the appearance of Sirius - the 'dog star.' Sirius peaks in magnitude and visibility in the dawn hours on July 23, and the dog days are said to occur from 20 days before to 20 days after this celestial event, from July 3 through August 11 each year.

With the Lion as our spirit guide, we’re being called back to simplicity. This is a time to bring ease into our lives. It’s a time to remember who you are when you stop trying so hard to be everything to everyone. It’s a time to embrace your inner Lion and the strength, confidence, and presence it commands. Both Pluto and Eris will be stirring tension under this New Moon, inviting challenges around power and control, but there is a breakthrough on offer if we are willing to let go and invite simplicity.

The astrology of this July 2025 Mercury retrograde phase is more harmonious and less problematic than usual, as it makes the harmonious sextile aspect to Venus. It promotes love, cooperation, intuition and creative inspiration. Mercury sextile Venus is a friendly influence that helps you relax and socialize. It significantly reduces the risk of challenging retrograde symptoms, such as anxiety, confusion, bad news, and disagreements. Enhanced communication skills, social tact, diplomacy, and charm enable you to negotiate, cooperate, and compromise to resolve conflicts, bring people together, and break down barriers to progress.

"A New Loved One from Spirit" Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday, July 10 at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working to communicate with a loved one for our partner who has never been brought through before. Let us hear what this loved one has to say about our partner. • Please email our church in advance for the Zoom link: [email protected] If you are less than 18 years of age, you must send written permission from a parent before the class. Please let Frank know you are coming by 2 pm on Thursday: [email protected] • The cost for this class is $12.00.

On July 10 at 4:37 pm ET, the Moon will reach its full phase at 18 degrees, 50 minutes of Capricorn, with the Sun at 18 degrees, 50 minutes of Cancer. The chart for the July 10 Full Moon displays the inherent beauty and harmony of heavenly spheres. The Sun and Moon are making aspects called sextiles and trines with the Moon’s nodes, those invisible points in the sky where the Moon’s path intersects with the Earth’s path around the Sun. The geometry of these aspects forms something called a mystic rectangle, lending an unusual degree of balance to this particular July 10 Full Moon time. On July 9, just before the Full Moon, Uranus will shift into the mutable air sign of Gemini, for about the next seven years. Uranus is a force of disruptions and breakthroughs. It will form a facilitating trine aspect with Pluto, the power player, now in early degrees of Aquarius. To say that we’re in for shocking events would be an obvious understatement. This makes the July 10 Full Moon, with its Capricornian and Cancerian themes of responsibility and nurturance, a kind of way-station, a respite, amidst what otherwise promises to be a long spate of tension and uncertainty.
