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.

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.
https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html
Scroll to 'Online Church Service'.

In-person meetings at UUFSB March UPDATE: After consideration and Board discussion, we plan to hold an in-person church service at UUFSB once a month.  We will be following the UUFSB covid protocols as before.  The next in-person service will be on Saturday, May 7 at 10:30 AM. The live-streamed zoom service will be the same time as in-person: 10:30 AM.
Note that in-person services may not always be on the first Saturday of the month.

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.
