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.
As we enter another week, we prepare to step into Autumn.
This Wednesday at 1.05am we officially welcome Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Southern Hemisphere welcomes Spring, as we cross the Equinox. Even with our wacky, unpredictable weather, the feel of Autumn is upon us. Sunday night, returning from Chawton, it was decidedly chilly and warranted a really hot drink before retiring.
I must confess, it is my favourite time of all. I love all the seasons, but there is something about this shift of seasons, even before the leaves have started their glorified colour show. One of the local cats stole through my old cat door into my extension whilst I was sipping my coffee this morning. She stayed for a while, and we enjoyed the moments together, until she heard it was time for breakfast next door, and she was off like a shot!
We have an expected heatwave this week, but I am sure it will be the last blast, giving us hope before we travel through the colder months. But make no mistake, nature waits for no one. All of the natural world knows it and is already busying itself for the season ahead. So, ‘Hello, Autumn.’ After some of the scorching days we have experienced this summer, we’ve been waiting for you!
Sunday night, we welcomed Eve Cowell, and Eve brought us some lovely thoughts concerning her own experiences in Lourdes, and then went on to bring some beautiful messages. Our own Steve chaired the evening and kept us well in line. Thank you! Our family offered readings and prayers to lift us, and we thank everyone, including our music team, Julie and Lisa.
A huge thank you to our hospitality team, Sue and Carole, and, of course, for another gorgeous cake, enjoyed by all! We also thank our healers for bringing the healing through after the service. And, as always, a massive thank you to everyone who helps with the setting up and breaking down afterwards. So many step in to help, and it makes it such quick, light work.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Please pray for our little church, that we can always rise to meet the needs of those who come through the door, and that our church doors remain forever open to all.
Rob regularly receives messages from people who have found comfort and reassurance through his work in helping to remove what they experience as nuisance spirit attachments. With Pali’s permission, he wanted to share her words below.
Hi Rob,
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me when I was at such a low point.
I truly believe my mum, dad, husband and sister in the spirit world guided me to you. I had been struggling for a long time, feeling scared, emotional and overwhelmed. I had reached out to so many people and spent so much money desperately looking for help, only to be disappointed. Being so vulnerable they took advantage of this.
After asking my spirit team to guide me to the right person to help me, you appeared on my TikTok the very next day. I immediately felt that I was meant to find you.
What you told me after seeing my pictures resonated with me so deeply. When you spoke about my sister and the memory of us dancing together, it touched me in a way I can’t explain — especially because I have a photo on my phone of us dancing together.
You gave me something I desperately needed: hope, comfort and reassurance. You encouraged me to trust my spirit team and allow the love of my family to come closer.
It’s only been a few days, but I genuinely feel so much lighter, more positive and full of energy. I feel blessed and hopeful about moving forward.
After my past experiences with people who took so much money from me, your kindness and genuine willingness to help meant more than you know. I would encourage anyone who is struggling or searching for answers to reach out to you, and to be very careful of people who take advantage of vulnerable people.
Thank you, Rob, for your time, compassion and kindness. I will never forget the comfort and hope you have given me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
With heartfelt thanks, Pali

Living on the edge of woodlands, I am treated, on a regular basis, to rare sights that perhaps a garden with a more suburban backdrop might not enjoy. The birds that visit me don’t come because of a fantastical bird table, or gourmet treats (for mine is a simple table within a dead Camellia tree, and some suet crumbles that seem to suffice,) but simply because of location, location, location! My glasses, alongside my coffee, are needed to be sure of exactly who does turn up at the 7 o’clock hour.
Hawfinches are very rare to see, and although I was unable to get a picture, I do know that it is absolutely possible to spot them near woodlands. He has an unmistakable large beak for his size, a very handy tool for crushing cherry stones and tree seeds. He is the largest finch in the UK, but sadly he is Red-listed, meaning that he is becoming increasingly rare, probably because of the loss of his habitat.
They are very shy birds, preferring to keep high in the canopy of trees, and their numbers increase slightly in winter as their European cousins arrive, giving us a better chance of seeing them.
His symbolism is often linked to that wonderfully powerful beak. In old England, he was known by names such as ‘Cherry Chopper ‘ for his ability to break open those hard cherry stones with ease. That strength of jaw and beak has come to represent inner strength and breakthroughs, a reminder that maybe we do have the ability to crack open what seem to be the impossible problems and reach the truth hidden within.
He’s also something of a mystery, usually unseen amongst the trees, with a simple, sharp call and an almost ghostly presence. I will choose to believe I did see him, face whatever obstacles arrive in my day with a little more strength, and a determined confidence.
Last night in Chawton, we welcomed Lorraine Francois and Catherine Whitbread. Between them, they shared a beautiful, thoughtful address and brought our lovely messages. Thank you so much, Ladies!! A lovely evening. Our own lovely Chris Elliot chaired the evening beautifully. We always thank our family for their readings and prayers, as well as our Music Team, with Julie running the music last night. Thank you for the yummy cake, Carole, and thank you to Sue for hospitality.
We are ever grateful for our diligent healers, ever ready after the service, as well as everyone who not only sets up but also breaks down the evening, and makes it quick, light work.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK.
Please pray for our Natural World. This earth and her inhabitants are going through it. With so many natural disasters occurring, as well as our interference with the ways of nature, we must remember that all of creation is affected, not just us.
We had a lovely, peaceful gathering last Wednesday evening. Healing is always part of the menu afterwards. Thank you, everyone! Thank you to those who consistently offer prayers and beautiful readings.
Please continue to pray for peace in this world
Lorraine Francois is joined by Catherine Whitbread this Sunday. Join us!
