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.

Saturday January 3
Full Wolf Moon in Cancer

Picture
First full moon of 2026, and it comes in like a tidal wave of feeling. On January 3, the full moon in Cancer arrives in its rulership, amplifying intuition, emotion, and that deep inner knowing you feel in your body more than your brain. It is soft, psychic, watery, and a little woo-woo in the best way.
Cancer Full Moon Energy
This Cancer full moon pulls your focus to safety, care, and emotional truth. It wants you to slow down long enough to notice what your heart has been trying to say.
Use this lunation to:
• Feel your feelings before you choose your words
• Follow intuitive nudges instead of talking yourself out of them
• Track your dreams and symbols in a simple journal
• Return to people, places, and rituals that feel like home
• Protect your space, time, and comfort like sacred resources
• Choose company that softens your body instead of tightening it

"AWARENESS, INTUITION, and MEDIUMSHIP class meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30-9:30 PM on Zoom. This class is designed to help people on their early stage of psychic and mediumistic development but will also help others with more experience and knowledge.  I invite you to learn at your own pace and level of enthusiasm." Rev. Frank Kotowski.   The cost is $12.00 per class.
-------------------------------------
"MEDITATION and MESSAGES" meets on the second Tuesday of each month, from 7:00 to 8:15 pm on Zoom. A 20-30 minute meditation will be followed by 45 minutes of spirit messages. All guests can give messages, as in a Message Circle, under the guidance of Rev. Frank.  If there is time at the end of each class, there will be a discussion on topics related to Spiritualism and Spirituality. People of all faiths and philosophies are welcome.  The cost is $10 per person.  See poster here: www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/our-church-services.html#SummerlandEvents
-------------------------------------
Hybrid SCOL SERVICES: Our church currently has two hybrid services a month (services that are in-person at UUFSB and also live-streamed on Zoom) . They are usually on the first and third Saturdays of the month, but this may not always be the case.  If anything changes concerning our in-person services, we will let you know.
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]
-------------------------------------
In-Person MEDIUMSHIP CLASS meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at UUFSB.*
The Rev. Frank Kotowski is directing this mediumship class at UUFSB in East Setauket from 7-9 PM. This class is open to everyone, but it would help if you had some experience in intuitive and mediumistic work.
The cost for this Meetup is $12.00. 
*NOTE: This in-person meetup is on pause until more people wish to attend it.
Please email our church if you are interested in attending in-person classes:
[email protected]

SCOL's WRITERS CLUB meets on the third Monday of each month from 7 to 9 pm on Zoom.*
This Writing Club is for SCOL members and anyone interested in writing to share their short creative works (poetry, essays, short stories, inspirational pieces) with others in a friendly and supportive environment. Only positive suggestions shared. No vulgarity or political  (us versus them) commentary.
We are asking for a lifetime membership fee of $25 and a class fee of $5.00. You can pay by check or on our church website:  https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#WritersClub
*NOTE: The SCOL Writers Club is on pause until more people wish to attend it.
If you are interested in attending this club please email our church: [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.
