"Into the Woods"

An Intergenerational Service

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum

In the spring of 2020 we had a planned “Into the Woods” service that was canceled due to the rising pandemic.  Now, we’re finally able to bring those plans to fruition!  This service will use the music of the musical “Into the Woods” while exploring themes of coming of age, what happens after “happily ever after,” and how we handle moving from interrogating the past and casting blame into the future and building beloved community.

Masks are required in the sanctuary, with the exception of being optional for speakers, soloists, and in the balcony.

"Belonging, Part 1: Love Draws a Circle"

Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum 

This year we’re using themes each month where we’ll share a worship service at the beginning of the month on the theme, and then our religious education classes will continue to explore that theme for the month. Our theme for September is “Belonging,” and we’re kicking off our theme months with a two-part sermon series. This first service will explore “belonging” in a smaller way—what does it mean to “belong” to a family, a church, an organization, a community? Why do we value belonging?
