Summerland Online Church Schedule This Week (beginning April 15)

4/15/2020

Comments

 
Dear Friends and Members,
Here is this 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. 

==============================================
Picture
==============================================
Until we can meet in person again. we will be holding
online worship services, mediumship classes, 
and special circles through the Zoom app, which
is freely available on smartphones, laptops, 

and desktop computers.  No worries if you 
don’t have these….you can call in for the cost of 
a call and listen to the service, calls, or circle. 
Advance notice and time will be sent or posted
along with a Zoom link, meeting number, and phone 
number.  For increased security, preregistration
is needed. We will be issuing a PASSWORD as
well.

C o r o n a v i r u s  Update
Still the same: New York state is on PAUSE: 
100% of the  workforce must stay home, and 
no gatherings of individuals should take place,
excluding essential services.

There is increasing evidence that New York City 
and New York state are turning a corner in their 
efforts to fight back COVID-19, and the timing 
suggests that the shifts may be a result of social 
distancing measures.
Still, if the decline has been steady, it has so far 
been slow. That may imply that while current 
social distancing measures are enough to gradually 
decrease the number of new cases in New York, 
the number of new cases may continue to simmer 
at relatively high levels for several weeks or longer
——and that they could increase again if these 
measures are relaxed.


Mayor Cuomo is  issuing an Executive Order
 requiring all people in New York to wear a mask 
or a face covering when out in public and in situations
where social distancing cannot be maintained, such 
as on public transportation. The Executive Order 
will go into effect on Friday, April 17th. Remember 
that wearing a face covering does not mean you can 
ignore other precautions — we still direct all New 
Yorkers  to stay at home for all but essential errands. 

==============================================
Picture
We are at a crossroad; some are affected more than 
others but all of us are witness to the ebb and flow of 
shock, empathy, hopefulness, fear, loneliness, comfort, 
distress, uncertainty, trust, and many more feelings.
Know that wherever you are, God is there right with
you.  At this time there is need for courage, acting on
faith, and going deep within to bring out the best of you.
There is a saying, “If God brings us to it, God will see us
through it.” May you and yours be well throughout this
rocky road ahead, and if you are able, please join us in
caring for one another.  Prayers work!  Blessings…. 

If you need to talk, to share what you are going through,
contact Frank Kotowski, L.M., President  
and Lay Minister

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

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the 
transition of one of Summerland’s  first members, 
Nancy Halpin.  Where do I begin telling you about 
her contributions, service, and undying love for 
Spiritualism?  She was instrumental in setting 
up the first Long Island NSAC Convention in 2004
held in Ronkonkoma. She was also the best 
Secretary the church had, and no detail was left
unattended.  She moved south to retire and leaves 
behind husband Mike and three daughters and
a son. She was 71 and passed on 3/21.   
Thank you and godspeed Nancy. Your infectious
smile and loving manner brought joy to many.

Here is a stress-reliever for you:
Sunday April 19 @ 7:30 PM  TV

A GREAT PERFORMANCES SPECIAL
Andrea Bocelli: Music for Hope
WLIW 21 PBS   7:30 PM
Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli gave a solo performance at the 
historic Duomo, the cathedral of Milan, Italy, on Easter Sunday. 
The Duomo — currently closed to all due to COVID-19 -- 
opened its doors exclusively for Bocelli, who performs 
Ave Maria, Amazing Grace, and more accompanied 
only by organist Emanuele Vianelli. 

==============================================
Did you know.....and who is this?
Picture
During the Great Depression, Mayor LaGuardia 
named the beloved lions who guard our 42nd Street 
library Patience and Fortitude for the qualities he 
felt New Yorkers needed to get through a difficult 
time. That sentiment certainly rings true now. Just 
as the lions continue to stand strong and defiant, 
so will New York City. I firmly believe that we will 
get through this moment together, with patience,
fortitude, and strong support of each other.
---Tony Marx, President, The New York Public Library
Sounds just like our Summerland Church community!

Zoom Online Church Service
Saturday  April 18, 12:15 
PM

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
When: Apr 18, 2020 12:15 PM Eastern 
Time (US and Canada)
Register in advance for this meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIuc-qqrTsjEtOjCVHySxACTvw1FPBgq5Np
 
After registering, you will receive a confirmation 
email containing information about joining the 
meeting. 
When you are in the online service, please observe 
proper etiquette  (given above).
We are asking for a love donation at this time at our 
church services to support our work and to allow us to 
continue through this troubling time.  We are not meeting 
in person so can't pass around the offering plate.
You can give a donation with a PayPal button on our
website under "Online Zoom Meetings: Church Services."

After the service, we will be having a 
"Discovery Circle" on the Mandela Effect, offered 
by Frank Kotowski.  The Mandela Effect occurs 
when you (supposedly) have a false memory of 
something that you feel very strongly that you 
know, but when you check on it, the truth of it 
differs from your memory. The cost for this 
Discovery Circle is $10.  If you cannot afford 
this amount at this time, please give whatever 
you can on our website:
http://www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/payments--donations.html#ZoomMeetings

Thank you.
