East Hamilton Spiritual Church
Canada's Oldest Spiritualist Church
Incorporated September 25, 1918 (Originally incorporated October 20, 1903 as The First Spiritual Society of Hamilton.)
Welcome Friends!
Our Church Home is where Love resides, where Memories are created, Friends are always welcome, and Laughter never ends
Dear Friends,
When we reopened in July, we did so with the strictest of measures, offering our Sunday service and Wednesday evenings with the safety of our congregants as our priority.
That was no small feat, but we accomplished that success because we all worked as a team.
Now we must apply the same discipline, as we enter into the second wave of this unpredictable worldwide health crisis.
With the rising case numbers of Covid-19, and Hamilton moving into the Red Zone with added restrictions, our health officials are asking everyone to Stay Home!
Essential travel only.
To help flatten the curve, slow the virus down and do our part to keep everyone safe and healthy, we will be voluntarily closing our church until Sunday, December 20th, with the hopes of reopening at that time to offer our next Divine Sunday Service.
We thank everyone in advance, for doing their part to stop the spread of this virus, and look forward to seeing everyone again on the other side of this.
If anyone is in need of support or prayers, please, do not hesitate to reach out to us. This is what your church is here for, especially during these tough times. You can reach us through phone - 905-545-7050, through email @ easthamiltonspiritualchurch@gmail.com or on Facebook @ East Hamilton Spiritual Church
Our healers will once again, be sitting remotely, twice weekly, to continue to send much needed healing and thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
Be Safe and Be Well!

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.

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
