​Due to the COVID-19 virus, Ontario has been declared a State of Emergency.
To ensure the health and safety of everyone, East Hamilton Spiritual Church will be suspending all services & activities until we are informed it is safe to reopen our doors.

Good morning everyone,

In meditation, I have been asking for guidance and insight from our loved ones in Spirit and they are surely making their presence known. Especially when I have been at the church.
They are coming in very somber, but supportive. I feel their protection and love very deeply.
They remind me, this is not the first storm this church and its congregation has weathered.
Looking at the lengthy existence of our church, I truly understand the depth of their statement.
EHSC has survived WW1, the Spanish flu, the Great Depression and WW2 and through these world tragedies have always managed to keep a brick and mortar building for us to gather in to express our beliefs, always a roof over our heads.
In times of need, they always came together and did what was needed to keep the church doors open.

Today we are faced with a different type of crisis. Instead of standing together we are asked to stand apart...at least 6 feet apart.

EHSC has always been a church of modest means, surviving from donation to donation, but like our pioneers, we keep our doors open.
Through the kindness and generosity of our church family and friends we have always been able to make ends meet and save a few pennies for rainy days such as this.
We feel as a church and a charity, we have the responsibility to ensure the monies gathered are used wisely, to always maintain our church and its costs and because we have upheld that responsibility we will be able to meet these challenging days of financial uncertainty.
Spirit tells me as long as there is a spiritual need, we shall exist.

Many of you have asked how you can continue to support the church and this is our response:

Charity begins at home.
Please use the monies you wish to donate, to take care of yourself and your family. If those needs are met, and you still have the financial ability, then look to see where you can help meet the needs of those around you. Perhaps a neighbour is needing help with food purchases, or a young mom needs diapers, purchase gift cards from a small business that is struggling, or make a monetary donation to Hamilton Food Share, one of our church community charities. There are many ways to be of service...
What we need right now is for you to take care of you and your family and if possible, help those around you.
We may stand physically apart but when we stand together in our Spiritual beliefs, when we express our understandings of the 7 Principles, the Spiritual Laws, when we do our part, we know that we are making positive changes, we are raising the vibrations, and most of all we know the Spirit world walks with us, wrapping us in their unconditional love.
​
We thank you all for your love and support over the years and look forward to the time we can once again walk through the doors of your church, smile and greet, raise our voices in prayer and song, share in service and celebrations!
But to get there we need to live in the now.
​
We love and miss you all.
Please remember, we are only a phone call, text or email away.
Be Safe and Be Well
God bless,

Rev. Kathleen Barnard, President EHSC


Our Church Story - How We Began

Nestled in the heart of the Crown Point Community, East Hamilton Spiritual Church has resided for over 100 years.
Our journey began when a devoted group of Spiritualists came together with the desire to create a space they could call their own. Land on Balmoral St. N. was purchased and the original church was built in 1921. The church would become the Spiritual hub for Spiritualists far and wide, travelling from across Canada, the U.S.A. and the U.K.
In 1974, the Balmoral St. N. church property was sold to the city for redevelopment. EHSC relocated to their current home,   83 Ottawa St. N., a picturesque, cozy dwelling, steps away from the original Tim Hortons & within walking distance of many unique shops and restaurants in the Ottawa St. shopping district.
Here we are, over 100 years later, continuing to be the Spiritual haven for the Spiritual community at large, welcoming and embracing all, honoring our Mission Statement to teach and proclaim the Science, Philosophy and Religion of Spiritualism.
Come join our church family and enjoy the wonderful essence of Spiritualism East Hamilton Spiritual Church has to offer.

​Absent Healing Prayer List

​If you or a loved one are in need of healing and are unable to attend a church service, please send us your name/s and they will be added to our Absent Healing Prayer List which Rev. Denise Ryan sends out to our church healers every Monday morning. To provide us your information, you may call the church at: 905-545-7050 and leave a message or email us at: easthamiltonspiritualchurch@gmail.com
Healing Blanket Prayer Circle

​Another beautiful way to express spiritual healing is through the comfort of wrapping yourself in the warmth of a healing blanket. When a healing blanket prayer circle is requested, our certified healers gather into a meditation circle, joined by your loved ones in spirit, and infuse your blanket with loving, healing energies.                                                                         You may purchase a hand knitted blanket from the church (or provide your own). A copy of the Healing Blanket Poem, channelled to Rev. Kathleen Barnard (from her Spirit teachers, December 7th, 2016) will be gifted with your blanket. If you would like a healing blanket created for yourself (or a loved one) please contact the church at: 905-545-7050 or email us at: easthamiltonspiritualchurch@gmail.com
