If you are new to healing, spiritual development or exploring faith alongside spirituality, there are some wonderful resources available online that can help you learn more in your own time and at your own pace.

Bible Gateway is a well-known online Bible resource where you can read, search and study scripture in a wide range of translations. Whether you are looking for comfort, guidance, inspiration or simply wish to explore the teachings of Christianity more deeply, it provides an easy and accessible way to spend time with the Bible from wherever you are.

We have also included a link to Christian Spiritualism, a website dedicated to exploring the connection between Christianity and spiritualism. (This will include the archives of THE ZODIAC MESSAGES ) The site shares information on spiritual healing, mediumship, churches, events and spiritual philosophy, helping visitors better understand how faith, healing and communication with the spirit world have been approached within Christian Spiritualism for many years.

We had a glorious weekend of sunshine and true summer weather, and on Sunday we not only celebrated Father’s Day but also Midsummer’s Day, which is a glorious time to take in the fullness of this season. All seasons work towards this one, and summer in its true essence has arrived.

The solstice means the sun standing still, and that is exactly what it appears to do, as it stops its northerly journey and starts to travel southwards again. The Ancients realised this in some measure and held this time of the year, as well as the others, that is, the midwinter and both the Spring and Autumn equinox, as sacred. Those who are ‘sensitive’ can attest to the amazing outpouring of energy at this time.

The young birds have fledged. The young animals of spring are well on their way in their new experience of this world. The flowers are in bloom, and the trees are full of their green leaves. All those days of damp and endless rain, which we complained about endlessly and loudly, have helped prepare the way for the lush, rich beauty of these beautiful summer days.

Last night, even in the heat, we gathered in Chawton. Our own Virginia Gordon stepped in and served, sharing some lovely thoughts and interesting facts about Father’s Day! She then went on to bring some lovely messages for the family. Thank you so much Virginia!! Our own lovely Chris Elliot kept us in line, chairing the evening beautifully. We had lovely prayers and readings from the family, and it was Les’s birthday!! So you know cake and candles made an appearance as we sang Happy Birthday in fine voice!

Thank you to those who set up and break down the evening, especially Julie, Graeme, and Steve. Thank you, Julie, for running the music, and, of course, Carole, for her birthday cake, and those who helped with hospitality. We never forget our healers who stand by to help after the service

Prayer of the week up later.

It is hot in the UK. Drink beyond thirst. Think of the wildlife that might need some regular fresh water. Think about your older neighbours and also companion animals that all need to stay hydrated.

It’s gonna be a scorcher!!

Happy Summer!

We gathered last night for our Wednesday solace on Zoom. Lovely prayers and readings. Thank you All. Healing on hand afterwards as always.

Please continue to pray for our little church. I think we are only just getting started.

Virginia Gordon is bringing us her thoughts and our messages on Sunday.

Join us!!

One of the most striking butterflies to be seen in the UK during June is the Red Admiral. Originally known as the “Red Admirable”, his original English name, the butterfly’s name became “Red Admiral” over time.

This beautiful butterfly is migratory, arriving from North Africa each spring. Many return south in September, although not all make the journey. With the milder winters Britain has experienced more recently, increasing numbers are choosing to remain here, hunkering down in sheltered locations through the winter.

The Red Admiral is particularly fond of Buddleia, AKA “butterfly bush”, for the nectar-rich blooms. He is also frequently seen feeding on fermenting fruit, when necessary, and tastes with his feet, marching up and down to see whether it is worth a munch.

He is fiercely territorial and a little grumpy. Males will often establish their patch and aggressively chase off rival butterflies.

In folklore and spiritual symbolism, the Red Admiral is often regarded as a messenger, representing transformation, protection, and courage. A sighting of him is sometimes interpreted as a sign of guidance, reassurance, or positive change on the horizon.

After another gorgeous day in these parts, we welcomed Karen Bazazan Noghani to us in Chawton last night for our Friendship Service. Thank you so much for your inspired thoughts and bringing our messages last night. We were so glad to meet you. Steve chaired our evening beautifully. Thank you, Steve.

The energy was high as we enjoyed beautiful readings and prayers and sang some lovely hymns. Thank you to our readers. Thank you, Julie, for running our music, and thank you to the hospitality ladies. Carole and Sue. Our healers stood by to help those in need after the service. Thank you, and so many pitched in to pack up and clear away.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please pray for our little church, that we can find new ways to serve our own church family, but also those in our communities.
