"Life Lessons" Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday, October 2 at 7:30 pm on Zoom, Su Garrison-Terry will be directing the class. This class will focus on Life Lessons. This is Su’s description for the class: It has been said that we come to Earth to learn specific life lessons. Some lessons are the same for everyone, and some are unique to us. Let's ask our spirit guides and our friends and family in spirit for guidance on how to proceed. What advice can they give us about our life lessons? What lessons did they come here to learn? Please email me for the Zoom link (by 2 pm on Thursday): [email protected] If you are less than 18 years of age, you must send me written permission from a parent or guardian before the class. Please email Suzanne by 2 pm on Thursday to let her know you are coming: [email protected] • The cost for this class is $12.00.

Rising low on the horizon, it will appear bigger, brighter, and more golden than any other Moon this year, casting long, glowing light across autumn fields, landscapes, and evening skies. What Makes the Harvest Moon Special The Harvest Moon is the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox (September 22 or 23). Unlike other full Moons, it rises about the same time for several nights, providing extended evening light. Historically, this extra illumination helped farmers complete their harvests before fall frosts. Best Times and Locations to View the Harvest Supermoon Horizon viewing: The Moon appears largest when rising or setting. Open landscapes: Fields, parks, or waterfronts add scale and drama. Local timing: Peak illumination is at 11:47 pm EDT (the exact moment the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth), but it is visible well before and after. https://www.almanac.com/content/full-moon-october -------------------------------------- Tuesday October 7 In-Person MEDIUMSHIP CLASS at UUFSB 7:00-9:00 PM This in-person meetup is on pause until more people wish to attend. ------------------------------------- Looking Ahead ------------------------------------- MEDITATION & BLESSINGS Every Wednesday at 7:00 PM Zoom MEDIUMSHIP DEVELOPMENT Every Thursday at 7:30 PM Zoom ------------------------------------- NEXT SATURDAY Saturday October 11 Zoom SERVICE @ 12:00 PM noon MESSAGE CIRCLE after service ------------------------------------- Tuesday October 14 Zoom MEDITATION & MESSAGES @ 7:00 PM ------------------------------------ Wednesday October 15 Zoom "AWARENESS, INTUITION and MEDIUMSHIP" @ 7:30 PM ------------------------------------- Saturday October 18 Hybrid SERVICE at UUFSB @ 10:30 AM After service --------------------- Saturday and Sunday October 18 & 19 Zoom HEALINGS and READINGS with guests Sandi and Mike Mayes 12:30 pm to 6:30 pm ET Zoom on both Sat. & Sun.

Monday October 6: Super Full Moon in Aries The Super Full Moon in Aries has some heat around it, and we may feel tensions rising. Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Strife, is highly activated under this Full Moon, encouraging us to break free of our shackles and go for what we want. This Full Moon will be supporting us to take a leap of faith and push past any boundaries or restrictions that have kept us feeling stuck or playing small. If there is something we need to get done, or some extra stamina required to move ahead, this Full Moon will deliver it! With all this fiery and intense energy, we may also be feeling a little more emotionally sensitive than usual. We may find ourselves feeling short-tempered or struggling to control our emotions. Address any anger or irritability that may arise, but try to do so with kindness and compassion. This Full Moon is also connected to the energies of the March Equinox and the start of our astrological year. Whatever intentions we set at this time may come to fruition. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-forecast-october-2025 Image by Betidraws from Pixabay. -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary

-------------------------------------- Hopi prophecies
"Hopis' Ancient Knowledge and Prophecies are warning through many signs, that we have entered a dangerous period in our lives. Mankind must return to Peaceful ways, and halt the Destruction of Mother Earth, or we are going to destroy ourselves. All the Stages of Hopi prophecy have come to pass, except for the last, the purification. The intensity of this purification will depend on how humanity collaborates with Creation. We are entering the last days. The Hopi Spiritual Leaders have spoken their urgent warning and message to the United Nations and around the world, yet there has been no response. We must Correct and Change our ways, go back to the Spiritual ways, and take care of Mother Earth. If we do not, we are going to face terrible destruction by Nature, bringing Purification or Destruction. The more we turn away from the Instructions of the Great Spirit, the more signs we see in the form of earthquakes, floods, drought, fires, tornados; along with wars and corruption. Because of the Hopis' deep spiritual qualities and sensitivity to nature, they know that the essential electromagnetic balance of life forces is maintained not only through nature's gifts of minerals, water, and sunlight and by the atmospheric currents and charged ion fields, but also by their sacred rituals and ceremonial dances. Their very presence in Hopi land, their demeanor and their reverence for life, is a protection for the people of the earth, for all are bound together in a global grid pattern of energy.

In the last degree of the sign, there’s an urgency to our new beginnings. It’s a powerful time to transform our jobs, health, self-care programs, and habits. We’re filled with innovative, inventive, and unusual ideas. There can be some roadblocks to manage, largely related to responsibilities to others or to our spiritual or mental health, but we’re determined to start fresh. This phase of the Moon occurs at 29 degrees and 5 minutes of Virgo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at 24 to 30 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and 0 to 4 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.

This year’s September full Moon is special as it will be covered by Earth’s shadow, creating a striking red Moon, also known as a “Blood Moon.” While much of North America will not be able to witness it, we will still feel its presence bringing destined situations into our lives. This powerful lunation may have a ripple effect until October 7, 2025 (the day after the Full Harvest Moon). September’s Full Corn Moon will reach peak illumination in Pisces (15 degrees) on September 7, 2025 at 2:09 p.m. EST. Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, symbolizes “the end before the beginning,” and aligns with karma, privacy, mental health, spirituality, and undoing. Virgo, the opposite of Pisces, aligns to more practical aspects of life: routines, responsibilities, employment matters, and physical health. Don’t be surprised if you feel especially emotional or intense feelings at this time.

------------------------------------- Summerland Bereavement Notice ------------------------------------- Our friend, the Rev. Lelia Cutler, from the Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, Virginia, transitioned to spirit on Wednesday, August 20 after a prolonged illness. She was a Spiritualist for more than 60 years. Her gifts included lecturing, teaching, clairvoyant mediumship, and singing. She was the President of the NSAC for 9 years and was a member of the Board of the NSAC for 19 years, including as the position of Treasurer. Lelia was also graded correspondence lessons for the Morris Pratt Institute for many years. Lelia served our church a number of times, offering Spiritual Addresses, mediumship, and workshops. Her big smile and easy-going humor were part of her beautiful nature. She put her full, inspiring self into her teaching and mentoring. She called herself the “Mouth from the South” and had a hearty laugh and beautiful singing voice. She will be missed by many, many people who were touched by her kindness and vast knowledge of Spiritualism and life.

See poster here: www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/our-church-services.html#SummerlandEvents ------------------------------------- Hybrid SCOL SERVICES: Our church is having two hybrid services a month now (services that are in-person at UUFSB and also live-streamed on Zoom) . They are usually on the first and third Saturdays of the month, but this may not always be the case. If anything changes concerning our in-person services, we will let you know. 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] ------------------------------------- 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. Ebony and family Danielle S. Lindy C. Kim Jim M. Dolores M Matthew M. Eilleen T. Loralei S. Tony F.
