Summerland Church Schedule This Week (Beginning March xx)

Dear Friends and Members,
Here is this the latest information about our church and
its believed 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. 
 
==============================================

==============================================
C o r o n a v i r u s  Update
New York state is on PAUSE: 100% of the
workforce must stay home, excluding essential
services.
All non-essential gatherings of individuals of any

size for any reason are temporarily banned.
Also: The building from which we rent space is
officially closed.

There will be no in-person mediumship
Meetup classes, no worship services, no
workshops, and no circles until this restriction
is lifted by the authorities.


Until we can meet in person again. we will be holding
online worship services, mediumship classes, 
and special circles through the Zoom app, which
is freely available on smartphones, laptops, 
and desktop computers.  No worries if you 
don’t have these….you can call in for the cost of 
a call and listen to the service, calls, or circle. 
Advance notice and time will be sent along 
with a Zoom link, meeting number, and phone 
number. 

==============================================
We are at a crossroad; some are affected more than
others but all of us are witness to the ebb and flow of

shock, empathy, hopefulness, fear, loneliness, comfort,
distress, uncertainty, trust, and many more feelings.

We hope you and yours are well and taking care of yourselves
physically, emotionally, and spiritually at this time.
Remember that God is there right with you.  At this time
there is need for courage, acting on
faith, and going deep
within to bring out the best of you.
  Some say that this
is what Coronavirus is all about....stopping us in our
tracks, jolting us and making us take a hard look about
who we are and where we are going.  Several church
congregants have expressed this feeling.
There is a saying, “If God brings us to it, God will see us
through it." May you and yours be well throughout this
rocky road ahead, and if you are able, please join us in
caring for one another.  Prayers work!  Blessings….

Friday April 17
National Haiku Day

Here  is the message I sent last year:
=============================

Haiku day is here
April breeze, warm and gentle
Joyful holiday
--from Internet

The haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry, 
which consists of three short lines with syllable 
structure 5-7-5.  Try making up a few today!  
Here is mine:

Be here Saturday!
Members meet to elect Board 
and eat some pizza
--from Valerie

=============================
I’m calling for you to create Haikus that I will collect and
post in an Update next week. Let’s get the creative juices 
flowing and send your Haikus to me at
valerielynne22@gmail.com
As Newsletter Editor, I reserve the right to select 
and choose uplifting, peaceful Haiku poetry for 
distribution!  Thanks!  Have fun!


==============================================
 
 
April 18:  Discovery Circle on the 
Mandela Effect, after service.
Facilitator: Frank Kotowski

The Mandela Effect refers to a situation in which 
a large  mass of people believes that an event 
occurred when it did not or that a memorized 
universal phrase or sentence has been mysteriously 
altered over time.

==============================================
Note:  Our Virtual Hug hour on Zoom last 
Tuesday went very well. We shared our experiences 
and offered support to those whose journeys have 
become difficult in this time of uncertainty.
Stay tuned for info on the next Virtual Hug!
==============================================
As we are not gathering together at this time, please 
visit the audio link section on our web page, 
https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/video-audio--links.html
Here you will find calming, relaxing guided 
meditations and inspirational lectures to tide
you over this period of  distancing.  The healing
meditation given the last time we met has been posted.  
Enjoy!
