Under this New Moon, intentions around love and relationships will be favored. Take a moment to think about what you wish to call in and write it down. It is also interesting to note that the Gemini New Moon arrives at roughly the halfway point in our calendar year. If the year has not gone the way you have liked so far, know this New Moon can also be your turning point. Start with your intentions, let the Universe know what you need, and trust that all will be delivered in divine timing. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-gemini-new-moon-june-2024 The Moon is New in Gemini on June 6, 2024, at 8:38 AM EDT. With this potent Gemini energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. This lunation aligns with Venus and forms a square to Saturn, and some blocks, obstacles, or reality checks are likely before we embark on a new path. The desire for more harmony, love, pleasure, or better relationships can be very real now, motivating new beginnings. This phase of the Moon occurs at 16 degrees and 18 minutes of Gemini, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 12 to 20 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly. https://cafeastrology.com/events/new-moon-on-june-6-2024/ ============================================== Saturday June 8 Zoom Church Service @ 12 PM noon NOTE OPENING TIME—12:00 PM: ROOM OPEN FOR VERBAL CHAT AMONG PARTICIPANTS, ALL UNMUTED. 12:15 PM: START OF SERVICE, ALL ARE MUTED.

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 June 15 and July 6. 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.
