The regular Sunday Service begins immediately following the Healing Service...generally at 7 p.m. It includes song,
prayer, an inspirational talk given by a guest speaker, and spirit greetings by the guest medium (usually, but not
always, the same individual as the speaker). Click here for our schedule of speakers for the Regular Sunday Service.
A free will offering is collected during both the Student and Regular Sunday services.
The church offers two spiritual development classes, one for non-members and one for members. These classes
begin in October and end in May. They give a balanced and thoughtful approach to developing mediumship and
healing through Spiritualist philosophy.
The Sunday before Easter (known as Palm Sunday in the Christian traditions) is typically the annual Class
Night where students from both classes take part in the Regular Sunday Service.
If you want more information about our development classes, email info@firstspiritualistsalem.org.
