Our services have three parts: Healing Service, a Lecture on a spiritual topic, and Mediumship Spirit Communication. Each part lasts approximately 30 minutes.
The Healing Service gives you the opportunity to receive healing energy that is channeled through one of our Healers. We believe that healing can be channeled through thought to those who need it. This is a very calming experience, whether or not you choose to sit in a healing chair. We encourage you to send healing to your loved ones, our communities, and Mother Earth.
The Lecture covers a variety of topics ranging from the History of Spiritualism to Inspired Insights. It also includes examples of how Spiritualism is a part of our lives on a daily basis.
Mediumship, or Spirit Communication, is the part of the service where a medium proves that "...the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the change called death." The medium might be a member of our church or visiting from another the Spiritualist church in the community. We also have mediums from abroad stop in often. While there is only enough time during a service for a few people to receive messages from their deceased loved ones on the Higher side Side of Life, everyone present benefits by witnessing proof of the continuation of life.
At the conclusion of the service everyone is invited to our social hour downstairs for coffee and conversation.
Sunday Services: 11:00AM to 12:30PM (Please note, there are no services on Memorial Day or Labor Day Weekends)
Summer Services: Wednesday 7:30PM -9:00PM during the summer we have our service on Wednesdays. Our Congregation voted to return to this tradition at the 2015 Members Meeting.
Cell Phones - Please make sure to turn off your cell phone during the service. Let this time be for your spirit.
Snow - In the event of a snow emergency, tune to Channel 7 for cancellations of Services, Events or Classes. Look for "The First Spiritualist Church of Quincy".
Parking - Please do not park on West St in front of the church, or in the lot in back of the church.
Healing & Mediumship Affadavits - If you experience a significant hands-on healing or message from spirit then please tell us about it. You can find affadavits on the table in the hallway near the restrooms. The affadavits are part of the process in our students becoming commissioned healers and certified mediums.
A significant hands-on healing means a significant physical, mental, or emotional change that results from the laying on of hands during our healing service. A feeling of warmth or relaxation is expected from sitting in one of our healing chairs, but a sudden recovery from bronchitis or depression would reflect a significant healing.
A significant mediumship experience means having a medium provide sufficient details about a spirit communicator so that you clearly recognize the spirit communicator, and that the message is meaningful for you. Many people would recognize a parent or grandparent coming through with a message of love, but not many people would recognize a parent or grandparent who made shoes for a living, passed away at 45 from a tragic accident at work, and is coming through to say that they are sorry that they weren't here to see you marry your childhood sweetheart.
