Dear Friends,
Here is the latest information about our church and
its believed community.  This information is being furnished
as there was a suggestion for a note to be sent to advise
congregants about our upcoming worship services and
events.   Hope that this is helpful to you.

We are asking for a 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.

==============================================
Give Thanks by Giving Back
Because of  your generous offerings and attendance at 
workshops and  fundraisers, the Summerland Board decided to give donations to three charities to support local families in need of food  and support, especially at this time of year. 

Donations have been made to Island Harvest, Long Island
Cares, and the Long Island Council of Churches Food Bank on behalf of the Summerland community.

If you wish to make a contribution on your own, please
consider the Food Bank of the Long Island Council of
Churches. Summerland Church of Light is a member
church of this worthwhile organization. See poster at right
for more details.  Please mention Summerland if you
decide to make a donation. Thank you!

==============================================

Frank Kotowski took the NSAC Oral Exam via Zoom for
Ordained Minister Wednesday afternoon. He later received an
email from June Killmer, the Director of the Education Department,
stating that he “unofficially” passed the exam and further 
instructions for the future ordination ceremony are on the 
way.  This gathering, when it is safe to meet in person again,  
would serve to to introduce Frank as an Ordained Minister
to the Summerland congregation.

Congratulations, Frank, for fulfilling your goal and dream 
of becoming a Spiritualist Minister.  You already were 
demonstrating leadership qualities for more than 10 years
and now have the full credentials.  Summerland is so
proud of you and the heights you have attained.  We know
you will not rest on your laurels and will keep progressing!
Blessings to you!

ART CORNER
This is a new, intermittent section of the church mailing.
We are happy to showcase art created by our friends.  
At the end of last week’s service, it was mentioned that 
Kyle Blumenthal’s artwork is being presented in a few shows, 
two virtual and one in person (wear a mask).  It was suggested 
that this info be added to the newsletter so our community can 
appreciate Kyle’s art for themselves.

We have talented people in our community. Please send 
pictures of your artwork or a short poem, for example, if you 
would like our readers to see or read.  Note that not all submis-
sions  can be posted due to space limitations and editorial 
discretion.
  
Here is information about Kyle Blumenthal and exhibits that
show her work. 
Kyle holds an MFA and an MA in Painting from C.W. Post 
College. She received her BFA in painting and Art Education 
from Pratt Institute. She is an Illustrator, a Fine Artist, a Stage 
Designer and Art Educator and Display Artist.
