Online Thursday:
Working with Clairaudience
For the Mediumship Meetup on Thursday, February 3, at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working with clairaudience.  Terry Kruse will be directing this exercise.
Clairaudience is like someone talking in your mind. The messages we receive through clairaudience are usually short and straightforward. In this exercise, we will ask each medium to go back to the childhood of the sitter to connect with a person the sitter had the best of times with.  It could be a family member, a friend, or neighbor.  This person in spirit is someone the sitter cherished or someone who could bring up their childhood joy. Mediums connect with the loved ones in spirit by allowing them to give short messages in their minds clairaudiently.  Mediums first ask those in spirit to tell them about a memory or two where your sitter and their special person from childhood shared their joyous feelings together. Then the mediums ask spirit if there is a message they would like to send to the sitter.  If so, relay it to the sitter.

We are asking for love donations at this time during our online church services to support our work and to allow us to continue through these troubling times.  We are not meeting in person so can't pass around the offering plate 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.

Returning to UUFSB UPDATE Feb.2: Because of the rapid rise of Covid-19 on Long Island with the omicron variant, the Board of SCOL suspended all in-person services and classes at UUFSB since December. Now, after due consideration and Board discussion, we plan to have an in-person Mediumship Development class at UUFSB on Tuesday, March 1 at 7:30 pm and a church service on Saturday, March 5 at 10:45 am. We will be following the UUFSB covid protocols as before. 
We first need to know if there are those who are willing to come to this class and service and help out with setting up the room and breaking it down afterward.  Please email our church if you can commit to coming to the class or the service or both at summerlandchurchoflight@gmail.com

==================================================
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.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
To remove all obstructions 
From my mind and body 
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.

I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust and love in the power of God.
