"A Vision Unfolding"

Join the FPC Choir and guest instrumentalists for a special music service, featuring the work, A Vision Unfolding, by composer Kyle Pederson and poet/singer Shanelle Gabriel. The work invites us to reach out to build bridges of care and connection, standing in solidarity with those whose voices are too often dismissed, regardless of their skin color, sexual orientation, faith background, or other characteristic. It explores what our country has stood for in its best moments, drawing on the powerful declarations of a nation rooted in equality, freedom, justice, and inclusion. The choir has been rehearsing the music for the past two months and is excited to share it with you!

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.

"The Flower Ceremony"

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum. The Flower Ceremony, sometimes called Flower Communion, is a Unitarian Universalist ritual celebrated now in its 51st year, where everyone is invited to bring a flower that goes into a group bouquet. The flowers represent the glorious diversity of humanity, so it's particularly appropriate that we celebrate this in the midst of Pride Month, as our beautiful LGBTQ+ diversity is part of what we celebrate in the rainbow of flowers that are gathered.

"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.
