Church of the Spirit

Church of the Spirit, Chicago

When Olivia was here in October, she asked if there was an old, established Spiritualist church in Chicago.  She urged us to go there.

We finally visited Church of the Spirit this past Wednesday, January 5, 2011.

Interesting!

It was an all-message service, preceded by a hymn we had never heard before, and for which were unable to sing; and a short inspirational greeting / blessing.

Each person received an individual message from Spirit.

Ray was told about a new car, a driving trip, and an ancestor or sommeone who had a pickup truck and who might be a carpenter.  This person was looking out for Ray.  Hmmm...Ray wishes he did have a carpenter looking out for hi; maybe a distant ancestor? 

Gail was told she had been worrying too mucvh about other people and should have more fun this year.

Deena was told about an ancestor who was a seamstress looking out for me.  I have several ancestors who weere seamstresses, including Cousin Estelle (who had owned a garment company) and Cousin Laura on Mom's side; and Great Aunt Teklla  who lived in California, on Dad's side.  I need to think about the pattern of my life, which needs just a slight adjustment.

Are these  intriguing messages to be taken as metaphor?

I will look for some pictures of my seamstresses.
