"Creating a Caring Community or What I Learned on Sabbatical"

"A Journey from Darkness to Faith"

Our guest speaker is Anela Kruščica, Director of Equity and Belonging at The Derryfield School, who has over twenty-five years of service toward state and school-level DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging) initiatives. 

Before ethnic nationalism led to genocide against the Bosniak community, Anela’s grandmother quietly and defiantly taught Anela to embrace her Muslim faith. Displaced during adolescence, she was overwhelmed and angered by the atrocities of war. Anela shares a window into how her merciful, compassionate faith connected her with community and healing.

"Godless"

FPC member Paul Reisberg is our guest speaker this week. For the atheist, not having god(s) in one's life is a fundamentally different way of being in the world; one that presents both pluses and minuses. Finding meaning, guidance and spirituality without spirits; connecting with and communicating feelings of awe, gratitude and fear to a universe that hasn't a supernatural being that listens are challenges that can lead to deeper understandings. These in turn can help us navigate through our current crisis in this age of anxiety.

"The Joy in Living Authentically"

Guest speaker Alex Kapitan will lead the service. In honor of Trans Day of Visibility (March 31), this service will be all about the journey and the joy of living unapologetically as your true self—not the cookie-cutter self that family, authorities, peers, or wider culture tried to mold you into, but the unique, most alive, most glorious being you were meant to be. In this time of targeted political attacks on trans people, joy and authenticity are vital forms of resistance.

"Ancient Women’s Voices: The Aztec Goddess as Motivation"

Rev. Susan Suchoki Brown, our Sabbatical Minister, will lead the service. In honor of Women’s history month, Rev. Susan will explore the topic of new learnings from an old teaching. On her first of three trips to Mexico, she learned about the Lady of Guadeloupe, the Aztec Goddess. The story and the message is as relevant today as it was when the story first was told in the 1500’s. Using this same story Rev. Susan hopes to bring some messages of hope and strength. Sometimes digging into the past teachings we can learn how to handle todays hurdles.
