The Taurus New Moon holds a grounding vibration, allowing us to rebalance our being and reconnect to a state of ease. We have been through much since the last lunar cycle and now we are given a moment to pause. While this pause will give us a chance to center ourselves, there is also some high-powered energy flowing through at the time of this New Moon, activating our Solar Plexus Chakra and inviting us to reconnect with our power. Jupiter and Pluto will both be at zero degrees of their respective zodiac signs under this New Moon. Jupiter will be in Taurus, and Pluto will be in Aquarius. This is a very powerful dynamic of energy coursing through the cosmic skies that will be heightened by the New Moon energies. Zero is considered a highly karmic degree of the zodiac and indicates coming to that zero-point state. This is the state of neutrality where nothing is dark, and nothing is light. In the zero-state, we are One with all of life. And in this zero state, creation occurs. Jupiter and Pluto at zero, unlocks a powerful portal of energy that we can use to manifest and create a new vision for our lives. We can also beam this energy straight into our Solar Plexus, to charge up our feelings of purpose, power, and inner strength.

A 20-30 minute meditation will be followed by 45 minutes of spirit messages. All guests can give messages, as in a Message Circle, under the guidance of Frank. The next class will be on Tuesday, June 13. If there is time at the end of each class, there will be a discussion on topics related to Spiritualism and Spirituality. Please email our church in advance before each class for the Zoom link.. The cost is $10 per person. See poster here: https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#Meditation&Messages In-Person Mediumship Meetups on Tuesday: We have decided to suspend in-person mediumship classes at UUFSB until there is more interest for those wishing to attend. Two In-Person SCOL Services a Month Now: Our church is having two hybrid services (services that are in-person at UUFSB and also live-streamed on Zoom) a month now. 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 May 20 and June 3. 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: summerlandchurchoflight@gmail.com =============================================== 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 summerlandchurchoflight@gmail.com 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. Christopher G.
