Dear Friends,
Here is the latest information about our church and its believed community.  This information is being furnished as there was a suggestion for a note to be sent to advise congregants about our upcoming worship services and events. Hope that this is helpful to you.

Wednesday October 20
Full Moon  10:57 A.M. EDT

Falling in the sign of Aries on October 20th, the Full Moon will activate the energies of Mars, Pluto, and Eris, creating what is known as a T-Square.  This configuration of energy can create a building of tension, but sometimes we need tension in order to inspire action.
Sometimes, it takes feeling stretched to your limits in order to put your foot down, speak your truth, set boundaries, and act, in an effort to change your situation.
In essence, that is what this Full Moon is calling us to do. It is calling for us to take affirmative action. But this is where it gets a bit tricky. With Mars, Pluto, and Eris involved, sometimes it can be hard to know what action to take.
Sometimes, these planetary forces can see us acting from a place of ego or in an effort to gain control. Sometimes these planetary forces can trigger our darker, more heated emotions, causing us to lash out or perhaps be too forceful.
It can help to keep all of this in mind under the energies of the Aries Full Moon, but don’t let this prevent you from taking action if it feels like the right thing to do. This is very assertive energy, and sometimes we do have to be firm, stand our ground, and communicate what we need.
At the end of the day, every decision and action we take is an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to shift our life in a new direction.
Regardless of where you stand, this Full Moon is a bit of a reality check, helping us to reassess some of our goals and dreams, and what we have been doing, or not doing, in order to achieve them.

SCOL Secretary

Dear Friends,
Here is the latest information about our church and its believed community.  This information is being furnished as there was a suggestion for a note to be sent to advise congregants about our upcoming worship services and events. Hope that this is helpful to you.

Wednesday October 6 New Moon in Libra  7:05 am EST
From Karyl Jackson: New Moon in Libra spotlights the themes activated by Sun, Mercury and Mars
  Early Wednesday, Moon joins Sun, Mercury and Mars to bring in the New Moon, activating new beginnings.  Moon connecting to Mercury and Mars emphasizes the information flowing in that shifts our perspective to give us added understanding of the events of this time.  This New Moon at 13 Libra, prompts us to think in different ways as our perceptions change.  Looking at situations in various ways expands our concepts to broaden our understanding.  Also on Wednesday, Pluto turns direct at 24 Capricorn, ruling use or misuse of power within the Capricorn environments of business and finance.  Pluto first entered Capricorn in 2008 and as this next swing of Pluto takes us to beyond 28 degrees (30 degrees in each sign), we will be able to align the power elements within the business and financial arenas to “right-the-ship”, so to speak. Pluto turning direct, ready to make important changes of Pluto’s time in Capricorn, provides the preparation to Pluto’s transition into Aquarius (2023), which rules humanity, fairness and right-for-all decisions.

Thank you !!
We are asking for love donations at this time during our online church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times.  We are not meeting in person so can't pass around the offering plate 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.

Scroll to 'Online Church Service'.

The Summerland Board has finally decided on having in-person services.  We are proceeding cautiously due to the uptick of Delta variant cases and now have a date for our return to UUFSB for an in-person service: December 4.  Everyone will need to wear facemasks and follow 6 feet of separation.  Complete protocols for in-person activities will be emailed to all on our list.  We will be streaming the service so people at home can view.  Keep safe, one and all.
