Artful Worship, Joyful Service
Sunday Celebration: Weekly at 10:30 am
Shining the Light of Hope, Courage and Compassion
June 15 Pride Sunday, Celebrate Your True Self! Jesus and Mary Magdalene taught us to honor our God given uniqueness. They did not shy away from reaching out to those who were considered outcasts by society. How might we follow their lead and practice seeing all people as children of God? The service will conclude with a lively dance jam to the song ‘Born This Way’ by Lady Gaga.
June 22 - Summer Solstice Ritual with InterPlay. Let’s celebrate the Summer Solstice with movement and community connection and the live music of Tom Finch! This will be an interactive time that will include improvisational movement as well as improv forms designed to build playful community together - all around the theme of abundance, bounty and celebrating the summer solstice. Bring a friend!
June 29th - Simplicity & The Arts with the Tao te Ching. For this Contemplative Arts Sunday, we will contemplate a passage from the Tao te Ching using the practice known as Lectio Divina. The passage is read intentionally slowly three times with time for reflection after each reading. The reflection period after the third reading will include a longer time with spaciousness to explore artistic expression (coloring, doodling, etc) or movement or prayer, accompanied by live music. Tom Finch will also lead the group in community singing. All are welcome!
Community Service with Marin Organizing Committee at FCC on June 19th Founded in 2009, Marin Organizing Committee (MOC) is an affiliate of the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), the nation’s oldest and largest leadership development and organizing network. The IAF bases its work on the idea that a healthy democracy requires the active participation of ordinary people. MOC is a broad-based network of local institutions—faith-based, non-profit, educational, labor, and civic organizations—that come together to develop leaders, identify shared issues affecting our communities, and take action around these issues.
FCC is a founding organization of the MOC, and we have recently been recommitting to our engagement. Five people from our church attended the May meeting, and our church will also receive a special training session from the MOC staff person, Liz Hall on Thursday evening June 19th at 7:00 pm at the church. The training will include how to lead ‘house meetings’, which are listening sessions that help us discern the key issues in the community. After key issues are identified, a process of developing an action plan will also be developed. All are welcome! If you are interested in attending the meeting, please contact Pastor Kimberly at FccKimberly@gmail.com
