It doesn\u2019t\u00a0stop the media to trivialising the work of mediums by declaring that television\u00a0programmes featuring \u2018paranormal phenomena\u2019 and mediumship are for\u00a0entertainment only, though.<\/p>\n<p>Spiritualist mediums are trained to link to those in the spirit world to give\u00a0\u2018messages\u2019 giving evidence of life after death. Often the message may seem\u00a0trivial, but it can mean the world to the recipient of it.<\/p>\n<h3>What else can you expect?<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>As a religion in a registered Place of Worship we have a Divine Service in\u00a0which we praise God with prayers and singing. We also have a short\u00a0Philosophy frequently on one or more of our Seven Principles. This is on a\u00a0Sunday at 3.00pm.<\/li>\n<li>On Tuesdays at 7.30pm we have a Demonstration of Mediumship by visiting\u00a0Mediums or sometimes an in-house Medium. See above for \u2018Spiritualist\u00a0Mediums&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li>On Saturdays we have a session of Spiritual Healing between 11.00am and\u00a01.00pm. Despite the name, you don\u2019t have to be holy to enjoy or benefit from\u00a0it. There is no need for an appointment, you can just turn up. We do not make\u00a0a charge but ask for donations. After all we need money from our donations on\u00a0Saturdays and Sundays and entrance charge on Tuesdays to pay the bills.<\/li>\n<li>On The first Saturday of the month we have Private Sittings when you can\u00a0have a one to one with a medium for half an hour. Appointments are\u00a0necessary and you need to book in advance with a \u00a35.00 deposit. On the day\u00a0you pay an additional \u00a315.00.<\/li>\n<li>If you fancy a bit of fresh air and getting mucky hands, you could join the\u00a0work party in the garden on Saturdays.<\/li>\n<li>We also have classes and the occasional workshop if you would like to\u00a0investigate Spiritualist activities further.
