We are asking for love donations at this time during our online and hybrid church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times. We are meeting less often in person so we have less opportunity to collect donations in person 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'. ======================= Saturday February 24 Full Snow Moon in Virgo  February’s full Moon is a Micromoon this year, at its farthest point from Earth (apogee). The Virgo Full Moon arrives on February 24, 2024, and is the last Full Moon for the astrological year and the last Full Moon before Eclipse Season begins. This special placement in our timeline gives this Full Moon a strong purge energy. Clearing and cleansing energy will be strong under this Full Moon. Pay attention to your mind, body, and soul- what are they communicating to you? What are they longing to be free of? Mercury, the messenger planet is circling strong around this Full Moon. Mercury is also the natural ruler of Virgo, so its presence will be heightened. Under this Virgo Full Moon, it will be our job to listen and pay attention to the calls of the Universe and our body. If you have questions that need answers or are seeking guidance, put your request out to Mother Moon and then watch for signs and clues as to how you should proceed. Healing energy is also strong under the Virgo Full Moon, especially healing that is related to the nourishment of our body. We must look after our bodies, so if you have been burning the candle at both ends or ignoring the symptoms your body is sending you, it will be time to step up and take action.

Polar Bears International founded the day to coincide with the time period when polar bear moms and cubs are snug in their dens. As part of their celebration, they focus on the need to protect denning families across the Arctic.

They are usually on the first and third Saturdays of the month, but this may not always be the case. Our next Hybrid services will be on March 2 and 16. If anything changes concerning our in-person services, we will let you know. At this point, we are not requiring you to wear a mask but you may certainly do so. (Health protocols may change due to changing NY state and UUFSB mandates.) The room for our services in the Religious Education wing has two portable air-purifying systems that will be used during the time we are there. We require a minimum of four people to attend (not counting the platform workers and helpers). Please let us know if you can commit to coming, and how often, to our hybrid services. Also, 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. To request that a name or situation be placed on this healing list, please send a note to [email protected]  Ann G. Michael D. Linda & Larry B. Yvette O. Amy, Bill, Parker, and Jacob Rhonda Connie R. Becky W. Nancy D. Tony F. Theresa D. Alisha and family Christine S. Bob J., Camille and Chrissy Lydiamarie Helena, Bethany and Jon Danielle S. Beverly M. Betty G. Ron G. Lisa R. Don B. Scott B. Dessie M. Mark in PA. Sam Andrea Sabrina John Janet Margarita ======================= Prayers for all those who have experienced violence and abuse. Prayers for areas affected by recent natural disasters around the globe. Prayers for all those who are affected by recent and on-going wars. =======================  Prayer for the Middle East Creator, you are our Provider and Healer. We pray that Your timely help and support reach all who are in need. There is so much sorrow, pain, and conflict across the Middle East. We pray for leaders throughout the region and ask You to turn their minds and hearts toward peace. Online prayer modified by Valerie.
