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.

"AWARENESS, INTUITION, and MEDIUMSHIP class will meet 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.
-------------------------------------
SCOL's WRITERS CLUB continues to meet on the third Monday of each month from 7 to 9 pm on Zoom.
NOTE: The SCOL Writers Club is on pause until more people wish to attend it.
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. If you are a member, you can suggest exercises for us to do!
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

-------------------------------------
"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 is having two hybrid services a month now (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]

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.


Ebony and family              Danielle S.
Dolores M                            Loralei S
Theresa F. and family        Mary C.

Linda and Larry B.              Stephanie B. and family
