MEDIUMSHIP DEVELOPMENT Meetup
Directed by Rev. Frank Kotowski

“Numbers in Our Lives"
Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday on Zoom, we will be working with numbers. We see numbers everywhere in our lives. What numbers were significant to our loved ones in spirit when they lived on the Earth plane and what numbers have meaning for us?

••• Please email our church in advance for the Zoom link: [email protected]
If you are less than 18 years of age, you must send written permission from a parent before the class. 
Please email Frank by 2 pm on Thursday to let him know if you are coming:  [email protected] 
••• The cost for this class is $12.00. Please pay on our website at this link:
https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#MedDevGroup
If this amount is not within your budget, please email Frank at the address above.
This mediumship group is open to both SCOL members and non-members. These classes are to help you build your intuitive and mediumistic abilities.

Thursday February 27
New Moon in Pisces
The Pisces New Moon brings the last lunar cycle of the astrological year and our official entrance into Eclipse Season. Needless to say, this February New Moon will be an impactful one and will open a portal into one of the most transformative points of the year.
From this New Moon until the end of Eclipse Season on April 27th, we are in a portal of deep transformation, healing, and shifting. It is very likely that all of us could be experiencing a very different reality come the end of April due to all the cosmic energies on offer.
While this can feel a little daunting, we can use the energies of the Pisces New Moon, and the positive vibrations of Jupiter to set intentions for a brighter future.  More to read at: https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-pisces-new-moon-february-2025

We welcome you to join our in-person service at the UUFSB building, where we have been meeting since January 2018: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook, Religious Education Wing, 380 Nicolls Rd., East Setauket, NY 11733.  For those joining us for the first time please see the directions on our website page 'HOW to REACH US':  https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/how-to-reach-us.html

• If attending via Zoom please email our church in advance for the link.  After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Thank you !!  We are asking for 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.

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]
