9 AM in the Sanctuary by Reservation, 11 AM in the Sanctuary by Reservation or Zoom/Phone

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum  
This year with vaccinations for younger children still under way, it did not feel possible to do our traditional Mummer’s Play in quite the same way.  So this service will be a service celebrating the spirit of the Mummer’s Play, with a telling of St. George and the Dragon, and featuring short vignettes from the play performed by children and/or adults, both virtually and in person.  If you’re interested in participating, contact the minister.

Service times: 9 AM by Reservation in the Sanctuary, 11 AM by Reservation or Virtual/Phone

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum 

This time of year can be hard for many people -- both for people who are struggling with loss or sadness in a time of seasonal joy, and for people for whom Christmas or Hanukkah are troubling theologically.  This service will be a service for all those who feel at odds with the season right now.

For this service in the time of Hanukkah, we invite our Jewish members to bring their Hanukkah menorahs for the altar and light them during our chalice lighting time, if they wish.  

While we are asking for advance registrations most Sundays to order to make sure we can keep social distancing (https://fpcosna.breezechms.com/form/26dae834), this Sunday you're welcome to attend without registration.

fRev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum
 
How do we hold the more difficult parts of our history, as individuals, as a religious community, as a society?  Across America we’ve been hearing debates about “critical race theory” and trying to keep education systems from examining and dealing with the more difficult parts of American history.  This service will look at ways we can hold the difficult parts of our past without ignoring them.

That’s right, in 20 years of ministry, Rev. Cindy has never preached a whole sermon on fat bias and fat acceptance. Now it’s time.
