Working with Colors
Hi, everyone. This Thursday night, May 19, at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working with colors. As mediums, which colors have symbolic significance to you? As recipients of messages and readings, do colors have significance to you and for which colors? Let us explore the world of colors and gleam all the information we can in readings.

• Mediumship Meetup Zoom link: Please email Frank for link.
• A minimum of four students is required for a class. Please let Frank know by 2 pm Thursday if you plan to come: Send an email, text message, or phone call

World Bee Day https://worldbeeday.org/en/
On this day Anton Janša, the pioneer of beekeeping, was born in 1734. The purpose of the international day is to acknowledge the role of bees and other pollinators for the ecosystem. Consistently on this day, the worldwide public will focus on the significance of saving honey bees and any remaining pollinators. People will be reminded of the significance of bees in providing for the needs of humanity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Bee_Day

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.

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.
