We are asking for love 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. https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html Scroll to 'Online Church Service'. ============================================== Saturday July 13 Moon-Spica Occultation For the first few hours after dark, look to the southwest to find the first-quarter Moon snuggled up to bright bluish-white star Spica. For much of the lower 48 U.S. and most of Mexico, the Moon will appear to pass in front of Spica – an event called an occultation. Check your favorite skywatching app for the view from your location. More to read at: What’s Up: July 2024 Skywatching Tips from NASA: https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/whats-up-july-2024-skywatching-tips-from-nasa/ Note: The occultation will be visible from Long Island. It will begin with the disappearance of Spica behind the Moon at 23:24 (11:24 PM) EDT, though at a low altitude of only 8.0 degrees, in the south-western sky. Its reappearance will be visible at 00:22 (0:22 AM) EDT, though at a low altitude of -2.5 degrees (re-emergence may not be visible as the moon will be close to the horizon ). https://in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=20240714_16_100&town=5108169 ============================================== Sunday July 14 Bastille Day Painting of Rue Montorgueil, Paris by Claude Monet, 1878.

They are usually on the first and third Saturdays of the month, but this may not always be the case. Our next Hybrid service will be on July 20 and August 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: [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. Michael D. Linda & Larry B. Yvette O. Rhonda Connie R. Nancy D. Tony F. Theresa D. Alisha and family Christine S. Bob J., Camille and Chrissy Lydiamarie Helena, Bethany and Jon Beverly M. Betty G.

Zoe and Zachariah W. Karen R. and family Carole M. and Stewart S. Danielle S. Patricia S. John G. and Suzanne W. Ebony and family Eileen T. and family ======================= Prayers for all those who have experienced violence and abuse. 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.
