Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum - As our world constantly changes around us in ways that are often spirit-quenching, how can we bring humor and play into the work of resistance, to bring lightness of spirit into the heaviness of these times? Bring your ideas and your open spirit to this exploration.

An Intergenerational Service

Join us for our annual church-year opening service where we bless the backpacks of all those beginning a school year, and we join in our “water communion.” This year we invite you to bring with you water representing your summer experience as we share its joys and sorrows. We’ll also be commissioning our new Intern Minister, Trek Reef, as he begins his journey with FPC. And have you heard the UUA has a new hymnal? We’ll be sharing some of its songs! 

Our buildings are now mask-optional. We have designated a mask-required section of our sanctuary. It is marked off and in the back right corner. Please consult with an usher if assistance is needed.

Rev. Tom Rosiello - Unitarian Universalism shares a rich history with that of the United States. The US recently celebrated the 250th anniversary of an uprising to reject the power of an authoritarian ruler. How does a religion also grounded in the democratic principles of the Enlightenment respond when we again witness the attempted imposition of authoritarian rule? As a faith tradition committed to the equal worth and dignity of every person, how do we resist the dismantling of DEI programs? The interconnected nature of all existence and the embrace of scientific knowledge are critical to who we are. What do we do when our government is dismissive of these ideas? Finally, compassion and acts of kindness, especially toward the least among us, are our guide, so how do we respond when meanness and revenge seem to be the driving force in government? Indeed, these are challenging times, but it cannot be a time for despair. Join us for a service that focuses on how we can "keep the faith together" in order to meet the challenges.
