Summerland  Newsletter This Week (Nov 26- Dec 2)

11/25/2025

 
Picture
A depiction of the first Thanksgiving in Autumn 1621 in Plymouth, MA. The feast was shared by English Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people. This tribe helped them through their first harsh winter. While this gathering was harmonious, later relations became strained.
We should reflect on gratitude and early history but take this as a lesson that we are all one and we should work together with that same harmonious spirit in 1621.

Giving Tuesday

GivingTuesday is every day, though the annual celebration event will
take place on December 2, 2025.
Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out,
showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what
we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts,
and everyone has something to give.

"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.

From the Astrodienst Newsletter - November 2025
Toward the end of the month, relationship themes move back into focus.
On 25 November Mercury and Venus meet in a conjunction. On 26 and 27 November Venus trines Jupiter and Saturn. This is an excellent time to deepen bonds and clarify commitments. Honest sharing and conscious, non-judgmental listening can now open a new level of trust and stability.
On 28 November Saturn in Pisces turns direct, as does Mercury in Scorpio on the 29th. Projects that had stalled begin to move again, and communication flows more smoothly. On 30 November Venus enters Sagittarius. During the transition it opposes Uranus and trines Neptune. After the deep relationship work of the past few days, you may fall head over heels into a romantic affair, which can just as well be a welcome revival of an existing relationship.
