ONE SERVICE AT 11AM IN FELLOWSHIP HALL
childcare provided
The holidays can be a stressful time. This Quaker service provides an opportunity to "leave behind the problems of home and office, of business and duty, of worry and perplexity." Join Neil Saunders, who attended Quaker services for nine years before coming to FPC, and settle into the deep calm and profound silence of this traditional hour-long period of worship. It is a time of waiting, listening, centering, reflection—a chance to get in touch with your inner light.

Our Annual Mummers Play!
FPC's children and youth will perform "St. George and the Dragon" at the 11 a.m. service under the direction of Janet Beatrice. This traditional Mummers' Play is considered by many to be a celebration of the Winter Solstice.
Versions of the Mummers' Play have been performed door to door in English villages by local players for hundreds of years. Our version of St. George and the Dragon is a compilation of many plays from several different villages and includes a time-honored sword dance which was traditionally performed by the men of the village.
