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.

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.

Rare succession of three supermoons in a row ends the year 2025.
Look up this fall and you’ll notice something unusual: every full moon will appear bigger and brighter than usual. That’s because the last three months of 2025 bring a rare streak of back-to-back supermoons, when the moon’s full phase aligns with the point in its orbit closest to Earth.
On October 6, November 5, and December 4, the “harvest,” “beaver,” and “cold” moons will all rise as supermoons—forming a three-month run that skywatchers rarely get to see.
The cosmic party continues into 2026 as January 3 will be next year’s first supermoon, which technically means we are about to witness four back-to-back supermoons.
