Memorial Spiritualist Church
AI Summary
A longtime fixture in Norfolk’s Park Place neighborhood, Memorial Spiritualist Church was founded on October 13, 1938 and is often called the “mother church” for metaphysical groups in Tidewater—it’s also one of the few purpose-built Spiritualist worship buildings in the country. The historic sanctuary features stained-glass windows (each a different flower) and an antique window from the 1830s, giving services a distinctive, intimate atmosphere. Visitors will find a full schedule of programs—Sunday Lyceum at 9:30 AM, hands-on spiritual healing at 10:30 AM (30 minutes before worship), Sunday worship with evidential mediumship at 11:00 AM, a Monday Mediumship Development Circle (Mondays 7:30–9:00 PM, $10), monthly healing services, Psychic Fairs, a Spirit-Filled Supper Club, and community groups like the Sunflower Quilters that sew NICU quilts. The church is volunteer-run, welcomes community involvement, maintains active social channels and a newsletter, and operates as a registered 501(c)(3), with many events open to newcomers.
