Using the Lesser Clairs of Taste and Smell" Hi, everyone. For our Mediumship Class on Thursday, May 22 at 7:30 pm on Zoom, Suzanne Garrison-Terry will be leading the class. This is the description for this class: Mediumship uses many Clairs beyond seeing and hearing. This class we will be exploring the Clairs of taste and smell.

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. https://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#ServiceDonation Scroll to 'Church Service offerings'. __________________________________________ Monday May 26 Memorial Day  "We cherish too, the Poppy red That grows on fields where valor led, It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies." ~ Moina Michael, 1915. Photo by Bart Ros on Unsplash. __________________________________________ Monday May 26 Strawberry New Moon in Gemini When looking to the skies under the 2025 Gemini New Moon, we see the little-known dwarf planet, Sedna, weaving her energies into our consciousness. Sedna’s presence under this New Moon celebrates a shift in consciousness to a higher level of truth and understanding, and through this, we are met with a new awareness and a new understanding. Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, is also active under this New Moon. Mercury loves to be in Gemini, so this is a fortunate energy when it comes to communication and self-expression. We may find it easier to get our thoughts out on paper or to others, or we may find it easier to even understand ourselves! We may feel more in sync with the brain waves of others, or more open to the thoughts and ideas of those around us. Our mental energy can be sharp under this New Moon, so use it to your advantage! Clear the clutter of your mind and use it to its fullest potential. Let go of anxious thinking and repetitive thoughts, and channel your mental energy into productive, gentle, and self-loving thoughts. Allow the New Moon to be your medicine for better mental health. Using the Energies of the May New Moon A softening is offered under this May New Moon in Gemini. We are asked to practice patience and to be gentle with ourselves as we move through a new chapter of awareness and growth. We may find ourselves standing on the other side of a deep transformation, but there is no rush to launch ahead. We can take our time, and trust that all will be revealed in accordance with our highest good. https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-gemini-new-moon-may-2025 ============================================= Looking Ahead ============================================== MEDITATION & BLESSINGS Every Wednesday at 7:00 PM Zoom MEDIUMSHIP DEVELOPMENT Every Thursday at 7:30 PM Zoom ------------ NEXT WEEK Saturday May 31 Zoom SERVICE @ 12:00 PM noon ------------ Tuesday June 3 In-Person MEDIUMSHIP CLASS at UUFSB 7:00-9:00 PM ------------ Saturday June 7 Hybrid SERVICE at UUFSB @ 10:30 AM ------------ Sunday June 8 Hybrid SERVICE @ 11:00 AM- 12:15 PM Rev.

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. Bob J., Camille and Chrissy Ebony and family Danielle S. Lindy C. Kim Jim M. Dolores M. Matthew M. Eilleen T. Loralei S.
