 Full moon photo by Valerie Miller. © Dear Friends, Here is the latest information about our church and its beloved community. This information is being furnished as there was a suggestion for a note to be sent to advise congregants about our upcoming worship services and events. Hope that this is helpful to you. If you would like to receive our weekly Summerland Church Meetings newsletter by email please add your name to the list here: https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/our-church-services.html#emaillist ============================================== Wednesday February 12 Full Snow Moon in Leo The fiery, passionate, and bold energies of the Leo Full Moon will reach their peak on February 12th. As the Full Moon rests bright in the sky, we may feel a spark ignited within us; we may feel a sense of courage to take on challenges, changes, and everything in between. The Leo Full Moon holds some erratic energy, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps we need a shake-up. Perhaps we need to look at things from a different vantage point. As the poet Rumi once shared- ‘Do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know the side you are used to is better than the one to come?’ And that feels to be the motto of this Full Moon. Change is in the air, and perhaps some instability too, but we are being called to step into our power, find our courage, and stand proud in what we know to be true in our hearts. We are being called to trust ourselves and to listen to our inner wisdom. The truer we are to ourselves, the easier time we will have working with this Full Moon energy. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-leo-full-moon-february-2025 ============================== Wednesday February 12 Zoom MEDITATION & BLESSINGS @ 7:00 PM With Debbie L.

Thank You For Your Support!  ============================================== Previously ============================================== At last Saturday’s service, we mentioned the passing of David Bryant, who was married to Stephanie, a former Summerland member who started with us in January 2012. Later, unfortunately, David was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, which is a debilitating disease of the nervous system. The family relocated to North Carolina to help David’s health prospects in warmer weather. Stephanie will be holding a Celebration of Life service for David at her home in NC on February 16. She extends an invitation to all but doesn’t expect anyone to make it. As an option, if anyone would like to make a donation to the ALS Association in David’s name, it would be appreciated. Please contact Frank at [email protected] for further information as to Stephanie’s coordinates or other details. We ask Infinite Intelligence to provide a smooth transition to the Summerland for David. Please hold Stephanie and Kailey in loving comfort as they navigate the path forward in this earth plane. Extend healing to the whole family. Let it be so. Shown below is a collage from the Summerland anniversary party at the Country House in Stony Brook in January 2014. The sunflower sticker marks the photos showing Stephanie and her daughter Kailey. We were very happy they could attend and share in the festivities! By the way, the blue flower sticker shows Valerie’s capture of a spirit wandering through our get-together. Look in the mirror for a former inhabitant. Amazing! Present members Camille, Debbie, and Wendy were also attending, as was Pastor Frank toasting to Summerland’s future! Stephanie plans to return to Long Island in April and is determined to attend the April 5 service in person, if possible. We will be sure to welcome her back!

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]  Bob J., Camille and Chrissy Ebony and family Danielle S. Lindy C. Kim Jim M. Dolores M.
