March 2026 Newsletter

As we come to the close of March, we have witnessed many challenges unfolding across the world, with ripple effects felt here in our own country. In uncertain times, it is not uncommon to see fear take hold—much like we experienced during the COVID period, where panic buying became a response for many.

Fear, while natural, can influence how we think and act. When we allow fear to take over, we may find ourselves reacting rather than responding, often putting our own needs first without considering those around us. Essentials such as fuel and food are, of course, vital to our well-being. However, when fear drives our actions, it can create a sense of chaos—not only in our daily lives, but also within our minds.

It is important to pause, to breathe, and to reflect. When we take a moment to rationalise what is happening, we give ourselves the opportunity to respond with clarity rather than react in haste. Acting from a place of calm awareness allows us to support not only ourselves, but also our community.

Let us be mindful of the energy we contribute to the world. When we project fear and negativity, it can amplify the situation. Instead, choosing calm, compassion, and understanding can help create balance during uncertain times.

As always, let us stand together, supporting one another with kindness and thoughtful action. When I witness the warmth and generosity within our congregation, it truly touches my heart. The way our community comes together to support one another in times of need is a beautiful reflection of compassion in action. In a world where life is often busy and demanding, these moments of kindness remind us of what truly matters.

Our thoughts are with one of our congregation members who recently lost her mother on the 6th of March 2026. Loss, however, is never the end. We understand that the spirit continues to live on long after physical passing.

As we reflect on the Seven Principles—particularly that of Eternal Progress open to every human soul—we are reminded that life does not end, but instead transforms. We move from one phase of existence into another, entering a state of newness, growth, and wonder.

When we attend a funeral and reflect upon a life lived, we may ask ourselves: was that life stagnant, or was it progressive? The lady we farewelled on Friday lived an extraordinary life—full of excitement, energy, and a deep passion for living. Her legacy is one of love, friendship, and devotion to family. She showed those around her how to live fully, how to care deeply, and how to love without boundaries.

This invites us to reflect on our own lives. What footprints will we leave behind? Will they be light and fleeting, or deep and meaningful—impossible to miss? Every lesson we face, every challenge we overcome in this physical world, contributes to our growth. These experiences are carried forward with us, shaping our continued journey in the spirit world, where learning and progression still unfold.

Just as we are born into this life with curiosity and uncertainty, so too may we enter the spirit world with questions yet to be answered. What lies ahead? What will we become? What responsibilities will we take on? These are mysteries that unfold in time. As always, we encourage you to stay connected.
