Summer Sunday Services,  10 a.m.

Informal and highly engaging lay-led services on a variety of topics:

June 21 – Cindy Matchett, Mike Matchett, Lee Cooperider, "Fathers"

June 28 – Reverend Malaena Nahmias, “Living the Tao: Wisdom and Inspiration for Our Times” The Tao Te Ching was written by Lao Tzu in China 2,500 years ago, and consists of 81 poems. Taoism teaches that there is one undivided truth at the root of all things and stresses the principles of humility, emptiness and the practice of non-doing. Its practical wisdom of simplicity and harmony can be a guide for us during these difficult times.

July 5 – Sue Darlington., “My Four Noble Truths”. A refugee ponders suffering, liberation, and what it means to be Tibetan.

July 12 – Greg Jones, “Micro Lending” The Fantsuam Foundation is a group that provides micro loans in central Nigeria. Greg visited them last November while on a trip to Nigeria, and his wife Barbie took pictures. Fantsuam lends small amounts exclusively to women. The lending program is selfsustaining because the repayment rates are close to 100%.

July 19 – FPC Jazz. An FPC favorite any time of year, our Jazz Band’s summer service is not to be missed!
