Sunday Speaker: Virginia Hurley
Nov 19 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Our Speaker is Virginia Hurley who is bringing a combination 
    of her Message on Healing and our Healing Meditation
                 combined into a new model together!
 
She has deep roots in Spiritual Studies.. beginning as a young child.
“(She was) raised a Catholic but was blessed to have an Irish Aunt
        that understood what having second sight meant and
          began working with (her) from the age of four.”
  In the early 70’s she found the First Spiritualist Church of New York..
         or it found her!  There she found mentoring and teachers.
          In 1979 she was ordained as a Spiritualist Minister.
 
Virginia has been a teacher of Psychic Development and Tarot.
     She lived abroad for 11 years and taught English in Poland
                 at the University level and younger levels.
 
       Her move to the Northland in 2020 was from Houston TX
                  and has also lived in Washington DC.
   A traveler who has now settled here and found our sturdy little church!
             We welcome you Virginia.  We will keep learning together!

Sunday Speaker: Sharla Gardner
Nov 26 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Her topic is Following the Spiritual Path as a Citizen for Peace.
 
She writes “I  consider myself an active citizen and peaceworker.”
This started early.. as a young mother in 1969.  However in the 50s her dad, returning from WW II, 
nurtured her early awareness and desire for peace to prevail.
Over the years she remained an active involved citizen, until her most public work began 
when she served 2 terms on the Duluth City Council 2008-2016.  
She remains engaged in politics now as an Elder, intentionally mentoring several women who now serve
in our State Senate, St Louis County Board and Duluth City Council. 
In 2021, another significant step for peace emerged when she was specifically recruited to serve in the Leadership Circle  of our local Grandmothers for Peace. 
Throughout her journey, she’s been grateful and aware of serving her original values as a peace activist 
who started young and has carried on through her adult life.
We are honored to Welcome you Sharla as a gifted and consistent example of the 70s motto :
   Think Globally and Act Locally.
                      Thank You !
