The Spiritualist

May 2008

The PSC theme for May:
Tapping in to the
Energy of Spirit!

As we commune with spirit we open our hearts to love.
We know that love is the way to spiritual unfoldment;
and therefore we pray to God, our Father and Mother,
that we may become love;
and in becoming more loving we shall become wiser,
and stronger in the power of God.
May this Holy Trinity of love, wisdom and power
become manifest in our hearts and lives. Amen

~From Spiritual Unfoldment I, White Eagle

Pastor's Corner

Greetings Dear Ones,

      I have been enjoying the wonderful weather and have just rekindled a new passion. I am planting an organic herb garden. The beds are also ready for planting vegetables and more flowers are going in next. I am creating a "sacred garden." I bet most of you do not know that my 1st College Degrees are in the area of Horticulture. I do remember the business, plants and floral designing parts. I am finding they are still very much a part of me. For many years I used to manage and design in a Flower Shop here in Downtown Rochester. I found great joy in creating masterpieces of color, doing custom weddings and playing in the soil up to my elbows like my Godfather taught me. It grounded and connected me to Mother Earth. It always "filled my soul."
     Some of those wonderful life experiences include: working in a family business, interior & exterior landscaping, and working in greenhouses. The colors and smells still "remind" me of what heaven must smell like! At least my part of it! *smile* This has been a "forgotten" part of my core essence since I stopped doing weekly floral arrangements for the platform at PSC years ago. The Pastor & Board used to give me a monthly allowance to bring in fresh flowers for Spirit each week. In my new search for Joy and finding a healthier, happier me..... I have renewed this passion once again.
     Yep, I believe just maybe those plants found me again. I hear them calling me too. Something the Shaman in Peru told me: to listen to the flora, work deeper in the plant medicine. So I am listening. Following my path as healer by growing my own herbal sacred medicine. To help me and those who seek it. This journey, with all of its twists and turns, still takes my breath away. I am amazed at the synchronicity I am finding everywhere in this amazing life of mine.
     Celebrate our Great Mother Earth. Plant more trees and flowers. Be one with the Great Spirit. And for those of you who are mothers....take time to celebrate YOU!

The Joy Seeker,
~Pastor Robin

In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete,
and yet life is ever changing.
There is no beginning and no end,
only a constant cycling and recycling of substance and experiences.
Life is never stuck or static or stale, f
or each moment is ever new and fresh.
I am one with the very Power that created me,
and this Power has given me the power to create my own circumstances.
I rejoice in the knowledge that I have the power of my own mind
to use in any way I choose.
Every moment of life is a new beginning point as we move from the old.
This moment is a new point of beginning for me right here and now.
All is well in my world.

our perspective on life grows broader and deeper.
In the spirit of love, our lives become fresher, our souls humbler;
evil seems to disappear,
and we learn to distinguish sinner from the sin.
Do I see the good in people?
Higher Power, let me walk in your love and see the good in all things.

Spiritual Healing News & Notes!

Extended Spiritual Healing
Third Sundays following the Service & at All Message Services
Spiritual Healing is an amazingly powerful form of mediumship and gift of Spirit. Our PSC healers are eager to share this gift with you. Join us after the service on third Sundays and at the All Message Services on third Wednesday nights. (7pm) Love donations are welcomed. All Healers are asked to meet with Kathy Manikowski or Pastor Robin before their first session to learn the new healing protocols for these settings.

Spiritual Healers Will Wear White!
PSC is asking our wonderful healers to begin wearing white shirts/blouses/jackets when offering spiritual healing. Pastor Robin has been receiving messages from Spirit about this for several years now. Along with our new lighter paint colors in the sanctuary, white will help us channel God's energy even more clearly. With white as a background, we will all eventually be able to see aura colors and healing color rays more clearly while healing is being offered. We would like to have all healers in white by the first Sunday in July. There will be a hanging rack set up in the fellowship hall for those who would like to keep their shirts at PSC. The fashion is up to you - but please no t-shirts or sleeveless shirts!! Questions -contact Kathy M, sunflowernl@aol.com, 924-9518.

Thank You!!
To all of our PSC Angels who step up and take care of spiritual business. You take out the trash, weed the garden, serve on the Board, host events, volunteer at fundraisers, return the bottles, clean the church, wash the towels, replace the light bulbs, bring in flowers, sit in development circles, teach classes, speak on Sundays, share your mediumship & healing gifts, donate supplies....

Inspirations from Kass Petty, Student Minister

When we contemplate the unfathomable depth of space
or listen to the silence in the early hours just before sunrise,
something within us resonates with it as if in recognition.
We then sense the vast depth of space as our own depth,
and we know that precious stillness that has no form to be more deeply who we are
than any of the things that make up the content of our life.
From--- A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

Dreams, Symbols, & Signs from Spirit
Part of my way to a deeper understanding of my spirituality became a bit more clear during the Dreams, Symbols, and Signs from Spirit Workshop lead by Pastor Robin on Friday, March 28th. A small group of us took a look at how Spirit uses symbols to communicate to us in our daily lives. Those signs and symbols are present when we go about the business of driving, walking, working, relaxing, and dreaming. By recording the things of which we take note, journaling details from our dreams, and interpreting personal reactions to these, we begin to learn a common symbolic language that enables our guides and ourselves to understand each other in a deeply personal manner. This symbolic language is part of the foundation of the path spiritualism has designed for each of us. For me, it is a necessary beginning. ~Alice Lombardo

There's a Dress Code?!
Well, not exactly, but we do remind our healers and mediums that if you are serving Spirit at Plymouth we do ask you to dress respectfully. In general this means no sneakers, jeans, bare feet or styles that reveal any of your natural geological formations. You know what we mean!!!!

Thank You to everyone who donates: stamps, cups, TP, paper towels, paper towel dispensers, tape, soap, vacuum bags, coffee, pancake fixin's, laundry service, cleaning, copy paper, munchies, kleenex, water, food bank donations, gift shop goodies, yard sale treasures, flowers, plants, drinks, white votive candles, lighters, light bulbs, card tables, musical talent, speaking talent, healing gifts, mediumship gifts, smiles, hugs, kind words .......

A Generous Flow of Intention!
Start your receiving giving by giving receiving! What? This sentence looks like it has five verbs! Or, two verbs - one watching the other one looking in a mirror! In any case, they speak to the Flow of Intention talked about by Dr. Wayne Dyer and many others. The Universe is an ebb and flow of energies - all energies of all things in all ways. The energy of abundance also works in this ebb and flow motion. Giving engages receiving engages giving. Plymouth Spiritualist Church acknowledges this wonderful ebb and flow of giving receiving. We thank the Universe, Infinite Intelligence, Strength and Love to be Plymouth Spiritualist Church. We support our structure, our congregation and our community riding this great giving receiving wave. The Universe is generous and just needs a "Start" to turn on the flow. Engage it with us, with thanks, love and light. it's a great ride!
by Connie Wake

We're Working on Access!!
Your Board, with the help of Francine Martella, is working to secure a chair lift. Do you know of a company or individual that could donate one? We hope to provide full access to our sanctuary. Say a little prayer for this endeavor!

We need you, We want you, We really got to have you......
Sign up to help out at Plymouth events. We need to hold fund raisers to pay our bills. We need your help to make them happen, and you meet the nicest people doing it!!!!

Please Be Generous
Our beautiful church only exists because people like you had enough faith to pledge their financial support. We are dependent on our offertory collections to pay our bills. Plymouth receives NO other financial support besides what we ourselves create. If you believe in the message of continuous spiritual life and in the good work that we do here, then please be generous with your donations. Thank you for all you do to make Plymouth the loving, supportive, spiritual home that it is!

Life Long Learning
Mediumship is a learning process - we are all perpetual students. We never know it all. There is always a new teacher, a new approach, a new class. The more we learn the stronger we become. Our development takes time, commitment, practice and patience. Plymouth is a wonderful place to grow and learn!

Let's Talk About Spiritual Counseling
As we work on our Spiritual Development we usually come up with quite a few questions! You have probably noticed how often Pastor Robin is swamped with well-wishers and folks with questions after each service. Please feel free to talk to one of the Board members or Pastor Robin if you have basic questions about Spiritualism and Plymouth Church. However if you are looking for more detailed spiritual counseling please make an appointment to talk privately with Pastor Robin in her office. Counseling fees run at $25 per half hour. You can pick up a brochure which describes other services Pastor Robin offers. Pastor Robin will work with anyone to design payment plans, alternatives and schedules. Thank you for understanding that our gifted and loving Pastor is also a mother, healer and medium with only so many hours in her day. We need to support her financially so she can support us!!

Healing & Mediumship
  Please be aware that it is Plymouth's policy that our Spiritual Healers need to have taken the healing class here at Plymouth.  We also ask any visiting or new mediums, who are not NSAC certified, to take Plymouth's mediumship class before serving in church, even if you have already been giving messages.  We welcome everyone to participate in helping Plymouth grow and prosper in the Light of Spirit!

Church Building Use
We are now ready to offer our building for use by approved groups or individuals.  Pick up a flier with details of requested donations and uses.  Spread the word - this can be a great way for us to raise funds! See Pastor Robin with questions.

Shared Joy is Doubled Joy!
Pastor Robin is pleased to announce that she will continue to share some church duties and pleasures with Plymouth Trustees and members!  You may notice new faces chairing services, speaking from the podium, making announcements, healing, and offering Spirit messages.  We have quite a few new Spiritual Healers and hope to add to our roster of student mediums and certified mediums.  As a matter of fact we have several Plymouth members pursuing their Spiritual education through NSAC courses.  We hope this will lead to many NSAC certified healers, mediums and pastors - yes, pastors!  There is room at Plymouth for everyone to serve. Pastor Robin will occasionally be out of town serving other Spiritualist churches.  Please support all those who take over the home camp while she's gone!!  We certainly need more mediums who are comfortable serving in church and at the All Message Services.  So please sign up for mediumship development workshops.  Come to development circles.  Get up and give that message in church - we believe in you!

Thank You Plymouth Angels!
Keep an eye out for little paper shapes on our front door with items you can buy to keep Plymouth running smoothly. Take the paper and bring back the goodie! As we work to meet the challenge of paying our monthly bills you really help make a difference with each small purchase. Thank you for all you do to make Plymouth such a loving church.
