The blue skies are teasing us between the endless downpours, but at least we know that the new season is not far away. You know that is a reality when the crocuses, as usual, beat the ‘daffs’ into bloom and we are in a countdown to the springtime. What a past few days we have had, with such weather changes, and yet these colourful, bulbs have burst into flower all over the place.

Crocuses have been around and beloved for centuries, hence the many beautiful garden hybrids. In Greek mythology there are several stories associated with them. One tells of Crocus, a young man accidentally killed by a discus. After such tragedy, he was transformed into a flower by the god Hermes, and ever since the crocus has symbolised love and joy.

In the Bible, the humble crocus is mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, signifying new hope, rejuvenation, and restoration in the most difficult of circumstances. Something to hang our hats on as we near the start of Lent, a season within the greater Christian Church encouraging reflection and turning inward, leading us toward Easter

What a weekend we have had!

Saturday was our Valentine’s Coffee Morning, a wonderful time of readings, healing, tasty baked goods, coffee, tea, and warm conversation. In all, there were over fifty readings, and at least twenty-one people received healing. We thank all our visiting mediums: Irene Hall, Em Dowsing, Eve Cowell, Bob Baker, and Lorraine Francois. We also thank our in-house readers, our healers, and everyone who helped organise and help with the smooth running of the morning. The baked goods were, as always, such a delight, and so thank you to our hospitality team.

Right on the heels of that, John Morrow visited our little church on Sunday evening, and we shared a truly lovely time. Thank you, John, for your messages and your thoughts. The evening was chaired beautifully by our own Sarah Dorgan. Thank you, Sarah. Thanks as ever to hospitality, to the readers, the music team, the healers, and all those who set up and cleared away.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please send a tidal wave of love and peace to the whole world.

Calendar to follow later.

Have a beautiful week, and take time to ponder.

This Saturday on the 14th of February we have our coffee morning at Chawton Village Hall. We have readings available, most of them are now booked up but we still have some more mediums coming who may be able to do some more readings. They’re 10 minute readings, £10 for the reading and also that morning we have hands-on healing available all morning from 10 to 12 o’clock. There’s a lot of mediums there that morning, about six mediums working and others who can answer questions. So if you’re interested in this type of thing, you’ve never come across it before, there’s a possibility of having a reading there. Hands-on healing, no problem at all. And also the teas and coffees are a very, very friendly place and atmosphere. No charge for coming in whatsoever. So that’s this Saturday from 10 to 12 at Chorlton Village Hall. And any questions at all, we’ll do our best to help you. Thank you.

We welcome Valentine’s week, not necessarily the unceasing rain, but there is much afoot in the world of love. All life in our wet woodlands is gearing up, and amongst them, the rabbits of our countryside are well into their breeding season.

There is only one rabbit species in England, the European rabbit, introduced into England by the Romans in 43 AD, and most probably kept as pets or food. This population was thought to have died out as they were kept enclosed and unlikely to survive in the wild. The Normans then introduced them for meat and fur, but it was in the fourteenth century that rabbits managed to escape and go AWOL. Rabbits, being rabbits, quickly increased in numbers and formed colonies.

Rabbit numbers have declined in the UK, and rabbits are not a protected animal, although certain cruelty laws still apply. Their symbolism is luck, no surprises there, and also fertility. They are associated with the feminine and also the moon. and represent the transition from winter to spring, and renewal

Last night, many braved the rain again to come to our little church with a big heart in Chawton. We were delighted to welcome Lorraine Francois and Alan Salmon as our guests. What a lovely evening of inspired thoughts by Alan, and messages brought by them both. Thank you so much. It was a lovely night. Our own special Nerina chaired the evening. Thank you, Nerina!!

We thank Lisa for running our music. We thank the readers, the hospitality, Carole, and Sue. We thank our diligent healers and trainees, and also those who help with the set-up and break-down. Everyone makes it light work.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Please add to your prayers all those who are dealing with cancer.

Thank you.

Calendar up later

Have a lovely Valentine’s week!

Love is in the air!

The latest blog Content from Rob Harvey

In his recent posts, Rob Harvey explores profound experiences that occur when a soul leaves the physical body and how spiritual confusion can be resolved through understanding and love.

In “What Can Happen When You Die Suddenly,” Rob reflects on a case where a young man passed unexpectedly and remained in distress, unable to accept his death. Drawing on his work as a medium, Rob describes how the spirit initially wandered, aware of loved ones but unseen and unheard by them. Through calm interaction and the presence of familiar figures — including a dog and child — the young soul gradually found peace and acceptance. Rob emphasises that every soul has free will, and that compassionate connection can ease the transition and reduce fear after death.

In “When a Confused Soul Learns to Let Go,” he tells the story of a woman weighed down by the presence of her late husband. Many years after his passing, the husband’s spirit remained close, driven by confusion and an intention to help, yet causing emotional distress. Rob explains that when a soul truly understands its situation and consciously chooses to move forward, guides or spiritual helpers can assist in the transition. In this case, once the soul accepted help and let go, peace returned to the woman and her family, illustrating that healing can occur on both sides of the divide.

Together, these accounts underscore Harvey’s core belief: there is life after death, and love — coupled with understanding — is the key to easing transition and promoting healing for both the living and the departed.

Yesterday we had a gift of sunshine. What a glorious day. We are reminded that the rain will end. We gathered as usual on Zoom and enjoyed a lovely evening. The prayers and readings just seemed to weave together, and the music was beautiful. Thank you, everyone, and thank you, Steve, for leading us this week. Healing followed right after the service.

Please continue to pray for the homeless, especially in bad weather. May they find resources and joy, and many hands to help them!

Lorraine Francois and Alan Salmon are with us on Sunday in Chawton. Join us !!
