Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum 
"Repair the World"
In the season of the Jewish High Holy Days, we'll look at the history, meaning, and potential of the phrase "Tikkun Olam" ("repair of the world"), and talk about our own renewal, as well.  Cindy is creating some special worksheets to go with this service for all ages, which will be placed on our website when the order of service is posted.

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.

Earlier this year Joleen Trotta and Ingrid Holcomb attended a seminar presented by our local NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) chapter along with Rev. Cindy Landrum. Joleen and Ingrid will convey some of their take-aways from that seminar, and they hope to be able to bring the voice of a NAMI speaker, too. The service will include best practices on welcoming a person to our community when it’s unclear what that person needs or how we can offer to help and have them feel comfortable with us.
