We stepped into winter on the shortest day and longest night, otherwise known as Yule on the 21st December. The temps are definitely dropping now, even as we saw some pristine blue skies. The days will get slightly longer from here on out, but we are probably in for some chilly days yet to say the least.

We gathered yesterday evening in Chawton for what was our final Divine Service of 2024. It was a beautiful family night of carols, beautiful readings and prayers, with baked goods coffee, tea and then healing.

This year has been spectacular! So many in our church family have stepped up to help with everything. From hospitality to running the music. From set up and break down crew to all the readers each week. The healers, the house mediums, social media, the finances, the cards being sent out and membership. Forgive if I have left anyone out.

We must say thank you with deep gratitude for our visiting mediums. We love having you so much, and are so happy that you serve us.

We must also say a huge thank you to our fearless leader and President Rob Harvey, who does so much as we continue to break down barriers and push the envelope in working with Spirit.

Prayer during our break.

Please pray for Peace in our world!

All that remains to be said is that whatever is going on in your life, that is amidst the sickness, the worry over finances, the loneliness, the loss, the disappointments of life, we remind you that Christmas will come to you in many different seasons throughout your life, but through it all, you are loved beyond measure. Apart from your loved ones, so many in spirit know you, champion you, and try to help.. This is Truth. Slow down. Listen. The promise of the boy child our Jesus, is alive and well.

From All of us at Alton Christian Spiritualist Church we wish you a very Merry Christmas, and Peaceful blessings for the coming New Year!
