We tried to gather on Zoom last night, and we did, but we were plagued with technical hitches and outages, and many who wanted to could not join. So sorry for the frustration. Those who could join enjoyed prayers and readings, and then healing was on hand after the gathering.
Please continue to pray for the frail and elderly throughout this very hot time in the UK.
Everyone, remember to drink plenty, and make sure wildlife and your companion animals are well hydrated.
Sarah Wawman – Pink Sarah, is with us on Sunday in Chawton!
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.
