In a world of zero tolerance and punitive solutions, restorative justice calls us to love and to learn. It’s time to change the narrative. What does it would it take to be open and accountable to one another?
Our guest minister, Rev. Paul Langston-Daly was ordained as a Unitarian Universalist minister in 1997. In addition to his M. Div. from Andover-Newton Theological School, Rev. Paul holds a Masters Degree in Restorative Practices and Youth Counseling from the International Institute for Restorative Practices. Rev. Paul brings 30 years of experience in conflict management in his current work to help congregations and communities to overcome conflict, and to facilitate a more open, creative and supportive environment.

Youth Activist Greta Thunberg says of the response needed to climate change, “Act as if the house was on fire.

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum will lead the service.

The modernist poets talked of fragments in a world that seemed to be falling apart. Our age mirrors that one, but using a mirror and the power of expectation we can make kaleidoscopic beauty out of fragments. On this Sunday we will also have a recognition of our fall religious education teachers. Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum will lead the service.

Religion has often played a key role in influencing our relationship to the earth: from having “dominion,” to being caretakers, or even partners. What images do we hold? What responsibilities do we have? This service will explore our competing stories about the earth… and the hopes and fears we share going forward.
The Service will be led by members of the FPC Climate Change Task Force.

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum will be preaching.
Mother's Day is a holiday our culture pays a lot more attention to than Father's Day. The same is often true in our churches, with Father's Day falling during our summer service time. So today we'll talk about and honor parents of all genders, as well as those who are not parents but otherwise mentor and nurture children and youth.
