The first Full Moon of the year holds a special spot in the cosmic skies. It is our opportunity to reset, purge, and cleanse the energies of the year gone by. It is our opportunity to create space for the future we wish to create.  This Leo Full Moon is full of bright energy and will be reminding us to focus on our joy. It is a highly creative Full Moon that will help push us out of our comfort zones. Leo tends to be grand, glittery, and dramatic, and this may have you searching for joy in material things, or fleeting things that only come around once a year. But on its deepest of levels, Leo energy reminds us that the purest joy and pleasure comes from simplicity.

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 February 3 and 17. 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. David B. Doris K. Sade Hanahn Daziah Joshua (transitioned) and mom Tracey Amy and daughter Alison Simone M. Dorothy M. (transitioned) Stephanie S. and daughter Ryan Michael D. Linda & Larry B. Yvette O.

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.
