SUMMARY:Contemplative Worship at FRS: Touching the Sacred Within
DESCRIPTION:Sanctuary\, first Sunday of the month\, led by Rev. Alan Seale. \nContemplation has been described as “a long loving look at the real” and “a pure intuition of being\, born of love” (21st-century mystic William McNamara). \nJoin Rev. Alan Seale at 8am on the first Sunday of the month for a half-hour contemplative worship experience—a space and time to be present with the simplicities and complexities of life in the quiet embrace of the FRS Sanctuary. \nThe sanctuary will be open to welcome you from 7:50am. The service will include quiet piano music\, a brief message or reading\, and periods of silent reflection and meditation. If this contemplative worship experience calls out to you\, we hope you will join us.

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving Service
DESCRIPTION:Join Rev. Rebecca and FRS members and friends in a community reading of the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address. We will have a community read of the Thanksgiving Prayer followed by a reflection from Rev. Rebecca. The Thanksgiving Prayer is traditionally used to welcome a new day. We hold this reading at a time near sunset to remind ourselves that the sun will rise again. Retaining our feelings of gratitude and connection to the natural world is essential for every one of us and for the collective wellbeing of this planet. All ages and guests are welcome. \n“You can’t listen to the Thanksgiving Address without feeling wealthy. And\, while expressing gratitude seems innocent enough\, it is a revolutionary idea. In a consumer society\, contentment is a radical proposition. The Thanksgiving Address and gratitude doesn’t send you out shopping to find satisfaction; it comes as a gift rather than a commodity\, subverting the foundation of the whole economy. That’s good medicine for land and people alike.” –Robin Wall Kimmerer\, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
