"Eyes on the Prize: Traveling the Long-Arcing Road towards Racial Justice"

While we live in the hope of one day achieving racial justice in our communities, in our country, and in the world, we know that the work is about an ongoing journey—a journey that we may not see achieved in our lifetime. Through music, meditation, and the spoken word, members of FPC’s Racial Justice Task Force will explore how we keep our “eyes on the prize” while keeping up our courage, compassion, and commitment for the work of racial justice.

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.

"Starstuff (Sermon Rerun)"

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum - We inaugurate a new summer service tradition today as Rev. Cindy repeats an earlier, popular sermon! This service from November 2018 explores the theology of Carl Sagan, who explained that we are all made of starstuff. This service will also feature a child dedication. If you have a child who you would also like dedicated, please "Contact" Rev. Cindy (yes, that was a Sagan pun)!
