Memorial Spiritualist Church

Sunday Worship Service
2025-12-07 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Memorial Spiritualist Church, 307 West 37th Street, Norfolk, VA, 23508, United States
Our spiritualist church service in Norfolk VA at Memorial Spiritualist Church is called Spiritualist Sunday Worship. Each week, we bring together healing, inspiration, and Spirit messages in a welcoming, no-pressure setting. For more than 76 years, our church has offered a steady place to connect with Spirit and with community.
This week’s lecturer is Teri Del Aurora with Margie Juda presiding.
What To Expect Each Sunday
First, we begin with a time of spiritual healing. You may sit quietly in the healing energy, receive hands-on or contactless healing, or add names to our healing book. In this way, we honor healing as a central part of Spiritualist practice.
Next, we move into an inspirational lecture. A speaker shares a practical spiritual message that you can carry into everyday life. Often, we talk about natural law, personal growth, or how to live your own truth with more awareness and courage.
Then, a medium offers messages from Spirit. These are evidential messages intended to show the continuity of life. Many people find comfort, guidance, and real reassurance during this part of our spiritualist church service Norfolk VA gatherings.
Spiritualism And Our Sunday Service
Spiritualism is the Science, Philosophy, and Religion of continuous life, based on proven communication with those who live in the Spirit World. In our Sunday service, you can see all three aspects working together:

The science shows in evidential mediumship and Spirit messages.
The philosophy comes through in the lecture and teachings.
The religion is expressed in prayer, healing, and service.

You can also visit our Declaration of Principles and Spiritualism pages on this site to see how our beliefs support what we do every Sunday.
Practical Details
Our Spiritualist Sunday Worship service is free and open to everyone. Love offerings are welcome and help support the ongoing work of Memorial Spiritualist Church, including our regular Spirit message events, classes, and circles.

Sunday Lyceum Book Study – 9:30 AM
Our Sunday Lyceum book study meets every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM, just before our Spiritualist Sunday Worship service at Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, VA. It is a quiet, thoughtful start to the day, focused on spiritual learning and honest discussion.
What We Do In Lyceum
Each week, we work with a selected book that supports personal growth and deepens our understanding of Spiritualist principles. We read, reflect, and then talk about how the ideas show up in real life.
First, we begin with a brief check-in and a short reading from the current book.
Next, we open the floor for discussion. People share insights, questions, and personal experiences.
Finally, we look at how the material connects with Spiritualism and with our own daily choices.
The tone stays open, respectful, and practical. You are free to speak or simply listen.
How Lyceum Connects To Spiritualism
Lyceum has long been part of Spiritualist tradition as a place for education and spiritual development. In our Sunday Lyceum book study, we use the book in front of us as a springboard to explore topics like:

Natural law and personal responsibility
The continuity of life and Spirit communication
Healing, service, and spiritual growth

You can also visit our Spiritualism and Declaration of Principles pages on this site to see how these ideas fit within our core beliefs.
Who Can Attend
You do not need to be a member, a long-time Spiritualist, or a big reader to join. You can jump in at any point in the book. We recap as needed so new people can follow along.
Many participants stay after Lyceum for our Sunday worship service, since the two often complement each other. If you want a thoughtful, low-pressure way to learn and ask questions, the Sunday Lyceum book study is a good place to start.

Spiritual Healing Service
2025-12-03 19:30 - 20:30
On the first Wednesday of each month, we hold a Spiritual Healing Service at Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, VA. This hour gives you time to slow down, breathe, and reset. If you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or just worn out, spiritual healing Norfolk style focuses on real life, not escape.
We open with a short, practical talk on Spiritual Healing. Our Healers explain simple techniques you can use at home to support your own well being. You might learn basic breathing, grounding, or visualization methods that help you manage stress and stay centered during the week.
After the talk, we move into guided prayer and quiet meditation. You can sit in the healing energy, reflect on your own life, or simply enjoy a rare moment of silence. Our trained Healers offer hands-on or contactless healing for anyone who asks. If you prefer, you can add the names of friends and family to our absent healing list so we can include them in our work.
Spiritual healing works with the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Many people come to gain focus, steady their emotions, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. This is spiritual healing Norfolk residents can explore without pressure, judgment, or sales.
There is no charge to attend the service. If you choose, you can make a donation to support the healing work and programs of Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, Virginia.

Mediumship Development Circle
2025-12-01 19:30 - 21:00
Build your intuitive skills. Strengthen your connection with Spirit.
Our Mediumship Development Circle at Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, VA gives you a steady place to train. Instead of guessing at your impressions, you learn how mediumship works and how to work with it.
Each circle begins with a short teaching. We focus on one clear topic at a time, such as Spirit communication, psychic perception, energy awareness, or ethics in mediumship. You learn what to look for, how to stay grounded, and how to give information in a responsible way.
After the teaching, you practice. You work with guided meditation, simple awareness exercises, and partner or small group readings. You notice how information arrives, how it feels in your body, and how to separate intuition from imagination. The circle leaders are experienced mediums who give direct, respectful feedback so you can track your growth.
The Mediumship Development Circle welcomes both beginners and developing mediums. Some people come because they have always felt “something” and want to understand it. Others already serve Spirit and want structure, accountability, and a trusted place to keep their skills sharp.
Mediumship takes practice, patience, and a clear mind. This circle gives you a focused environment to build those habits. Many students also attend our regular services and classes, which you can explore on our Spiritualism page on this site.
We ask each participant to come with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and respect for confidentiality. What happens in circle stays in circle, so everyone can relax, experiment, and grow without pressure.
If you want to explore your own mediumship in a grounded, no-drama setting, this mediumship development circle offers a consistent way to do the work, week after week. Joining us gives you a community that speaks your language and supports your development over the long term.

Billet Service
2025-11-26 19:30 - 20:30
Our Billet Message Service at Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, VA is a traditional Spiritualist way to receive personal, evidential messages from Spirit. Teri Del Aurora, a working Spiritualist medium and president of our church, leads this service.
What Is A Billet Message Service
In a billet service, you write a name, question, or concern on a small piece of paper called a “billet.” Then you fold or seal it in an envelope. The medium does not need to read your words. Instead, they work with the energy of the writer and with the spirit world to deliver a message that fits your situation.
This practice reflects a core Spiritualist belief that life and personality continue after physical death. Through mediumship, we often receive comfort, guidance, and proof of that ongoing life.
How The Service Works
At the start of the Billet Message Service, you receive a small slip of paper or billet. First, you quietly write a name or concern. Then you fold or seal it. After that, the billets are collected and given to the medium.
Teri holds each billet in turn and blends with Spirit. As she works, she gives the message she receives, offering evidence and insight for the person who wrote that billet. The goal is not entertainment. Instead, the goal is to bring through meaningful, helpful information that supports healing and understanding.
Why People Attend
People come to the Billet Message Service for many reasons. Some are grieving and want reassurance that their loved ones are still very much alive in Spirit. Others need guidance around life choices and feel drawn to ask for help from Spirit in this way. In addition, many simply want to experience evidential mediumship in a clear, structured format.
Often, the messages bring comfort, a sense of being seen, and a reminder that we are not alone.
If you would like to experience more of this work, you can visit our Spirit Message Programs page to see all of our regular opportunities to receive messages from Spirit, including our Worship Service and other message-focused gatherings.
Finally, we gratefully accept love offerings for this service. Your donations help support the ongoing work of mediumship and Spiritualist education at Memorial Spiritualist Church.
