Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum - At Christmas time, we often feel like we have to love or hate Christmas, hating it based on our reactions to some of the most extremes in Christian theology and the perpetuation in the media of the “war on Christmas” myth. This service will unpack the Christian story and the cultural trappings around it and find space for a truly Unitarian Universalist celebration of the holiday.

Guest Minister Lindasusan Ulrich

During the pandemic, we learned firsthand that a building isn’t nearly as essential to the congregation as the people. What does it mean to be a sanctuary for each other? Join guest preacher Rev. Lindasusan Ulrich as they explore true belonging.

Rev. Lindasusan V. Ulrich (they/them) is a minister, writer, musician, and activist dedicated to radical inclusion, deep collaboration, and courageous kindness. Lindasusan has served congregations in Connecticut, Michigan, and Minnesota; is a certified spiritual director; and identifies as a genderdynamic bisexual person of color.

An Intergenerational Service

In this season of harvest and gratitude, we invite everyone to join in a “harvest communion” – bring something edible to give away that represents the harvest season to you – it could be a squash or pumpkin, or something cooked like corn muffins, something canned or something fresh. As with our spring “Flower Communion,” our Harvest Communion will be a bringing of one thing and a taking of another, representing the diversity and generosity of our community. All leftovers will be given to Open Table or a Food Pantry. This service will also include a presentation from our Stewardship Committee as we launch this year’s Roots and Wings pledge drive, where we call on the generosity of our community to sustain us through the year to come.

Join us after the service for our annual "Hanging of the Greens" as we decorate the church for the holiday season!

- Neil Saunders - As part of FPC's continuing series on world religions, this service will focus on the Religious Society of Friends—Quakers—who began in the 17th century as a radical religious protest against the rigidity and formalism of the English Established Church. Neil will explore the twin tenets of the Quaker faith: worshipping in silence waiting for the “inner light” of God to speak to and through them, and a call to peace, equality, and simplicity through a series of historic testimonies. Over the years Quakers have been in the forefront of the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, prison reform, equity for indigenous peoples, and conscientious objection to war.
