There never seems to be a shortage of these fellas around. The grey squirrel. Even during the summer I have seen so many young ones on my walks with the dogs, because of course they have two litters of kittens per year, one in springtime and another in the summer.

He gets a bad rap as he will infuriate gardeners with his ‘resourceful’ ways, but he is of course a survivor, coming to England in the 19th century when he was first introduced as a specialty to stately homes, and he completely made himself welcome, increasing in great numbers. Hailing originally from The Americas he carries a virus that has eliminated most of our native red squirrels except for in the Northern parts and Scotland.

His symbolism is one quite obviously of that resourcefulness, preparation and yet playfulness…Work hard. Play hard!

We had our ‘In House gathering last night in Chawton. What a special night! The energy of Spirit was so high as we listened to beautiful readings and prayers and sang some of our favourite hymns.

Rob gave an inspired address on Freewill- our greatest gift for the journey, and then we encountered Spirit coming especially close so that many in and out of the body had an opportunity to learn as Rob guided us through events that were occurring. It was a very special evening indeed felt by all. Thank you Steve for Chairing our evening so well with your usual good humour.

Healing always completes our evening. Thank you Healers. Tea and coffee with biscuits were on hand, and Carole did not disappoint with her cake, yet another recipe!! Thank you Julie on music, and those who set up and break down the evening.

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for each other in our Church. We all have such different lives, with all kinds of challenges, but we all need prayer to be a Light in this sometimes darkened world.

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful week Everyone!!

What a beautiful Summer’s day yesterday. We gathered in the evening for our mid week ‘top up’, and heard beautiful prayers readings and music. Thank you All.

Please continue to pray for a Ceasefire in Gaza, no matter what The News brings us.

We will be hearing about ‘Ghosts’ on Sunday in Chawton, as Rob shares his information and takes questions. We will see you there!!

Kevin Trefry came to visit and bring his inspired thoughts and lovely messages yesterday in Chawton. We had a lovely time! Alison Keogh chaired the evening.

And the pollinators are still going… I was amazed as I sat in my garden yesterday, on what was a beautiful summer’s day and watched the Bumble bees delving into bloom after bloom like there’s no tomorrow.

Bumble bees can function in colder temperatures and low light. so they will be going until they cannot. The Queens will live about a year, but the workers a measly 4 weeks. That does not seem fair!

Their colonies are underground, and they have no problem taking over an old nest of some other animal and making themselves at home. How do you tell an old Bumblebee? Well his wings have a little wear and tear and so are a little ripped and raggedy… I guess it’s the same for us all on this physical plane.

Their symbolism is one of hard work, diligence and productivity. The honey being the reward. Oh does that ever sound like a Spiritual lesson for us as we ourselves travel through life..

We welcomed a new medium to us yesterday in Chawton, as Kevin Trefry came to visit us. We had a lovely evening! He shared inspired thoughts to remind us to keep those healing thoughts going out, as we never know despite someone’s behaviour, what they are going through. He also brought our lovely messages!! It was a lovely evening with plenty of laughter. Thank you so much Kevin!! We will see you later in the year!

Thank you to Lisa on music, our readers, Carole again for cake that everyone lines up for! Thank you to our Healers on hand afterwards. Alison chaired the evening for us, and thank you to all those who set up and break down every week.

Let us not forget – Happy 57th anniversary to Barbara and Ken…!!!

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for a ceasefire in Gaza between Hamas and Israel. The talks have started, and no doubt there will be endless conditions on both sides, but may this be a stepping stone to a better day.

Calendar up next.

It looks like another truly summer day in this neck of the woods. Take time to stop and smell the roses.

Have a beautiful week Everyone!

We enjoyed another lovely Wednesday evening gathering yesterday. Thank you for all the thoughtful prayers and readings, and thank you to our healers standing by after the service for those who wanted healing.

Kevin Trefry is with us Sunday in Chawton. See you there!!

Please continue to pray for the bullied and the bullies in this world.

Gillian Blaize came to visit Sunday in Chawton. The evening was chaired by our own Chris Shore. We had a lovely evening. Thank you Gillian!!
