Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum
In religious circles, we often talk about having “a calling.”  For some this is metaphorical, for some it is literal.  This service will talk about deep listening and hearing our call.

Ingrid Holcomb, lay leader; homily by Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray,UUA President

From our work for marriage equality, women’s suffrage, the abolition of slavery, for civil and voting rights, to advocating for a path to citizenship for immigrants, to taking on the ‘New Jim Crow’ and white supremacy today, Unitarian Universalists have a legacy to carry onward.  On this Sunday we’ll be sharing a homily from UUA President Susan Frederick Gray in a special service weaving together our usual FPC traditions and words from many prophetic UUs from the UUA and beyond.  Our Denominational Affairs Chair, Ingrid Holcomb will host the service.

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum 
In this service we'll look at how the idea of suffering is treated in various world religions, the myth in art culture from Greek myths to modern music that you have to suffer to be an artist, and break down the idea of "necessary suffering" and how we can promote healing instead. FPC is pleased to welcome the members and friends of the Community Unitarian Universalists in Brighton, Michigan who are joining with us in worship on this Sunday!

Rev. Cindy Landrum

Join us for our "traditional" ingathering Sunday, done a little differently this year!  For our water communion, we ask you to have a small bowl or dish of water and a stone or two or three to place in it during the service.  Instead of the "blessing of the backpacks" this year, we'll be doing something new to honor our children and youth as they begin a school year that will be different from any other.

Some passions, like gardening and interacting with nature, can be integral to a spiritual or healing journey. Sonja Furneaux and members of FPC’s Grounds Committee will share and explore how personal connection with nature engages our mind, frees our body, touches our heart, feeds our soul, and strengthens our faith.

The time we’re living through has been compared, sometimes jokingly and sometimes not, to many dystopian novels. The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler suggests, in verses called “Earthseed,” that the only constant in our lives is change, that everything changes us, and we change everything. To sum it up, “God is change.” Rev. Cindy Landrum will explore the helpful messages dystopian works give us for how we will not just survive this time but turn the world around.
