SUNDAY SERVICES

Another Sunday when church goers were spoilt, with excellent morning and evening services.
The morning worker was a young lady, Emma Coles who has come through the open circle route to the rostrum, and this was the second service she had given at Park Grove
Her philosophy was very good and covered the seven principles of Spiritualism. This was spoken with clear diction and confidence. Her survival evidence was good and precise. One of the congregation congratulated Emma on her address and said it was said with a maturity above her years. Well done Emma, you will have a very positive and fulfilling future working with spirit.

The evening service was taken by Nick and Anne. a good service. The reading was quite stirring and the Annes' address complimented it greatly. Nick gave evidence to two ladies which brought some tears as he passed on messages from loved ones. Thank you both for your hard work and dedication in the cause of spirit

Saturday Evening Demonstration

Eric Jones and Bryan Morris gave 43 people something to think about last night. One of the congregation said " They gave excellent survival evidence and gave a lot of messages to many people".Eric always starts the evening with a little philosophy and then goes into the clairvoyance with a bang so to speak.
The good news is that they will be back again later in the year.

mediumship

When people think of Mediums they usually visualise people wearing long flowing gowns in a séance, sat round a table holding hands with the people they are doing a reading for . Mediums are just ordinary people who usually have everyday jobs and families. A Medium is just a link between this world and the spirit world, and everybody alive has Mediumistic capabilities of some kind.
There are a number of forms of Mediumship some of which we will cover in this issue and others in future issues. Mediumship can be divided into two types, Mental Mediumship and Physical Mediumship. Mental Mediumship can be split into three more categories, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience and Clairsentience.
Mental Mediumship uses our Psychic senses for the communication between the two worlds, whereas Physical Mediumship endeavours to have those in the spirit world communicate through some Physical means.

Clairvoyance. A person who is Clairvoyant can see Spirits. This usually means they see the person communicating in their minds eye, which can be in the form of a picture or like watching a television in your head. Some Mediums can see Spirits with their Physical eyes as if there is another person in the same room as themselves. The Medium will then describe what they see to whoever is having a reading. It is not always people that Mediums see, it can also be animals or even objects and symbols. Some objects will be given to the Medium to be interpreted symbolically.

Clairaudience. With this form of Mediumship the person hears the spirit communicating with them. Again this can be voices in the Mediums head or thoughts running through the mind. Sometimes a Medium will actually hear someone talking to them with their physical ears. The medium will not only "hear" voices but can also be given music or singing.

Clairsentience. This in some schools of Mediumship is the most common form and experienced very often by people just beginning to understand the gift that they have. This type of Mediumship takes the form of the Medium sensing a spirit presence, usually through feelings. Mediums often feel as if they are being touched, feelings of cold or slight breezes wafting past them. Sometimes they can have the feeling of cobwebs on their face or can even smell fragrances associated with the spirit presence of their time on earth.

Mediums will use one or more of these forms of communication in order to convey messages from the spirit world.

Physical Mediumship is not as common today as it was in Victorian times and the early twentieth century. The types of Physical phenomenon usually encountered are Transfiguration, Ectoplasm, "Voice Trumpets", Materialisation and Apports
.

Spiritualism

Spiritualism is a religion founded in part on the writings of the Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772).[1] It is theistic, postulating a belief in God, but the distinguishing feature is belief that spirits of the dead can be contacted, either by individuals or by gifted or trained "mediums", who can provide information about the afterlife.[2]

Spiritualism developed in the United States and reached its peak growth in membership from the 1840s to the 1920s, especially in English-language countries.[3][4] By 1897, it was said to have more than eight million followers in the United States and Europe,[5] mostly drawn from the middle and upper classes.

The religion flourished for a half century without canonical texts or formal organization, attaining cohesion by periodicals, tours by trance lecturers, camp meetings, and the missionary activities of accomplished mediums. Many prominent Spiritualists were women. Most followers supported causes such as the abolition of slavery and women's suffrage.[3] By the late 1880s, credibility of the informal movement weakened, due to accusations of fraud among mediums, and formal Spiritualist organizations began to appear.[3] Spiritualism is currently practiced primarily through various denominational Spiritualist Churches in the United States and United Kingdom.

A big thank you to Mike Davies from Caerphilly. http://www.mikespirit.co.uk/

Who DID turn up to provide evidence and upliftment to the 22 people who attended the evening service.

Lots of humour and energy during the service made it a a very enjoyable eveing (Well I had a good time anyway!) Also I'd like to thank Tom and Bernard who were in fine voice with getting the vibration up to maximum volume.

ps Thanks also to Carol Ellis for her exemplary tea and coffee making skills. Phil we might have to turn the heating down as it was such a cosy atmosphere after the service we had to call last orders!

Sunday Morning

Well the problem of Saturday carried on today, when the worker failed to make it to the church.
This did not effect the running of things though, Phil Spillane ( chairperson) took the service and along with Kim and Chris( two lovely ladies) showed how well the church is doing regarding mediums etc.
Phil gave a very personal philosophy on how he got to the church, and then surprised himself with his evidence of survival.

Phil would like to thank Kim and Chris for their support and also a huge thank you to the congregation who helped by sending positive thoughts to the rostrum. I must not forget Spirit in all this as it was obvious that they had a great influence on the occasion.

Saturday Demonstration

Well, the stand ins tonight did very well. Many thanks to local mediums from park grove Church who saved the day, or should I say evening. Carol Ellis and Linda Calver came to the rescue when the advertised medium did not turn up. They both gladly jumped into the deep end so to speak and kept 54 people watching and hearing evidence that only family would know.
There was plenty of laughter and at the beginning, the music started to lower the volume all by itself, or did it have some help.
The pace gradually got faster as the evening went on. The audience went away well and truly satisfied and should return another Saturday.
Once again tremendous thanks to the two ladies ,Carol and Linda

Val Croot ---------Part 2

Val Croot although really under the weather continued with her service from this morning and put up a fine show although the presence of jelly fish and a boars head tried to interfere. The survival evidence given was excellent and her philosophy outstanding as it came direct from spirit.

Thank you Val for all the hard work you did today even though you were coughing like a good one.

Val Croot----- Part 1

Another good service by Val (hates to be called Valerie) Croot. The address she gave was wonderful in its simplicity, (no Val I am not calling you simple).The survival evidence was spot on and a variety of messages were given to 3 recipients. Some relating to support and some saying that they will be close in times of trouble. Thank you Val for part 1, back tonight for the second part.

Mike Cronin

Mike gave his usual demonstration on Saturday. A crowd of 34 listened and were amazed at the evidence that Mike gave . He would be the first to say that his guides on the other side gave the show, but never the less thank you Mike for a good evening

Sunday Evening Service

A good start to services for 2009 Sunday services this evening as Gaynor Mullins and Linda Calver gave a very happy and interesting evening .
Evidence of survival was good and philosophy was up to standard. It was good to see a good number of people in the church.
At one stage in the demonstration, Gaynor was describing her link,when she said that " He is not like Phil (the Chairprson) he is more dignified. Phil has notified his solicitors so watch this space for future news.
