10:00 A.M. FAMILY WORSHIP SERVICE

Our interactive, age-appropriate twenty-minute service for children and their parents and grandparents, will take place in the sanctuary. Today we will retell a story called “Mother, Mother – I Want Another!” by Maria Poluskin. Led by Danielle Gerrior, Director of Religious Education, and the Rev. Lucinda Duncan.

10:30 A.M. ADULT WORSHIP: Love You Forever

Today’s Mother’s Day service will be based on the wonderful children’s paperback story of the same title, by Robert Munsch, who is a Unitarian in Canada. Reflections on the cycle of love — on how we all know it in perfect and imperfect ways — will be offered by Lucinda and several Follen
parishioners. It IS, of course, what life is about. Please get your coffee and join us upstairs in the Anne Smith Room at noon for the half hour of “Reflections,” to share what feelings, recollections,and meanings became real for you during this morning’s service.

Religious Education classes will meet
Nursery care will be provided in the Dickens Room

Welcome to Follen Community Church! This is a congregation of about 300 adults and 150 children and youth that wears its heart on its sleeve, knows how to laugh and cry, and cares deeply for one another and the world. We come from many walks of life. We’re honest with one another about what matters. Spiritually we are diverse, yet because we have worked for years to hear and understand different perspectives, we have humanists, agnostics, mystics, theists, naturalists, and Unitarian-Universalists who honor and attend to faithful observance of Christian, Jewish, and Buddhist practice.

We now publish sermons on the web! Click on the “Sermons” topic to the right (or click here) to see which sermons are available, and to download or read them.
