Faith Formation Fourth Friday Fireside Film Festival: Life of Pi

On Friday, April 26 Faith Formation will present its monthly film offering, Life of Pi in the ACC Fireside Room.

"Life of Pi," directed by Ang Lee, is a visually stunning adventure film based on Yann Martel's novel. The story follows Pi Patel, a young Indian boy who survives a shipwreck and is stranded on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. As Pi struggles to survive, he forms a remarkable and unexpected bond with the majestic animal. Through breathtaking cinematography and profound storytelling, "Life of Pi" explores themes of spirituality, survival, and the power of storytelling.

Please plan to arrive around 1:30 to allow time to visit and settle in to watch the two-hour film starting at 1:45. Of course there will be popcorn and lemon water to enjoy during the film and an after-film discussion.

In-Person/Live-Stream Worship: "Together: We Cannot Hate"

We welcome all people to worship and prayer, and to be with us on our journeys of faith formation; join us as we experience the Divine One through Creation, Creatures, and Creativity in our world and worship.

On this fifth Sunday of Easter we're considering the bold claim in 1 John 4 that we cannot love God and hate people. We'll also look at the story of the Ethiopian eunuch from Acts 8:26-40 to help us understand what it can look like when Spirit leads us to love. Fear and hatred divide, but love connects. Tim K. Murphy will lead us through this week’s Hymns & diverse musical selections for this week’s Prelude & Postlude. Jeffrey Frederic Paul will lead the ACC Choir & Bell Choir for this week's Special Music & Offertory. Caro Grosvenor will be this week’s liturgist & will light the Prayer Candles.

Film Screening: Common Ground

Film Screening: Common Ground

Common Ground provides hope for future generations with concrete ways to fix a broken planetary system. The film explores how regenerative agriculture can help heal the soil, our health and the planet.

Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.

In-Person/Live-Stream Worship: Easter Sunday

We welcome all people to worship and prayer, and to be with us on our journeys of faith formation; join us as we experience the Divine One through Creation, Creatures, and Creativity in our world and worship.

This Easter Sunday we celebrate the joy of new life! In the resurrection story from John 20, Jesus gives Mary an important message to proclaim, that his Father is our Father, and his God is our God, or essentially, "What's mine is yours!" The risen Christ leads us to connect with God and with all of humanity, and these connections give us new life TOGETHER! Tim K. Murphy will lead us through this week’s hymns and share diverse music selections for this week’s Prelude & Postlude. Jeffrey Frederic Paul will lead that ACC Choir & Bell Choir for this week’s Special Music & Offertory. Faith Abel will be this week’s Liturgist and light the Prayer Candles.
