Please take a moment of your time to connect with Joe Fazio...
Joe, a beloved member and Treasurer on our Board, transitioned
nine years ago at Huntington Hospital, January 22, 2013.
We miss him dearly on this earth plane, but we all know how busy
he has been- popping in, in Spirit form- since he passed on!
Sending you love ... God bless you, Joe!

Tuesday January 25
Founder's Day

Public Domain from nypl.digitalcollections
January 25 is observed each year as Founders Day,
honoring Andrew Jackson Davis and the founding of the
Spiritualist Progressive Lyceum on January 25, 1863.
In 1863, Davis gave a lecture in New York idyllically
describing the education of children in the Summerland
in garden schools called Lyceums--a name used by the
popular adult education lecture programs of 19th century
America. He inspired his listeners to found such schools
here below on Earth, starting the Children's Lyceum or
Spiritualist Sunday School movement.

Returning to UUFSB: Because of the rapid rise of Covid-19 on Long Island especially with the omicron variant, the Board of Summerland Church has decided to suspend all in-person activities at UUFSB in East Setauket, including services and classes, until conditions approve and are deemed safer.  We will keep you posted. Please be safe and patient.

Su with our "shared" son, Prince.  We provided this stray with an outside home, but thought it best
that  he have an indoor home with other black cats, and Su kindly took him in with her brood.
