The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic By Bishop John Shelby Spong

We are pleased to have John Moxley lead the discussion this Sunday on Part III of Bishop Spong’s book, The Fourth Gospel:  Tales of a Jewish Mystic.  John is well-schooled in the theology of the progressive theologians of the Jesus Seminar.  I hope that you will be a part of the discussion about this book that challenges some of our long-held understandings about what the Gospel of John is telling us.

​Please join us on Zoom at 8:45 and class will begin at 9:00.

In March 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr., (a Baptist Minister) led a great march of nonviolent black protesters on a long four-day march.  More than three thousand civil rights demonstrators from Selma marched all the way to Montgomery, Alabama.  Scores of demonstrators join along the way, totaling twenty-five thousand marchers upon their arrival in Montgomery.

Mr. Rogers... Did you know...

3/18/2022

0 Comments

 
Fred Rogers was an ordained minister of word and sacrament for the PC(USA) and was a notable public figure whose work around peace and reconciliation is worth remembering. Rogers was also a pioneer in the world of Christian Education and formation of young children. March 20 was his birthday and the day that the PC(USA) has chosen to highlight all we can learn from his work.

0 Comments

 
St. Patrick was born in Britain, not Ireland. He only came to Ireland at age 16.

St. Patrick’s Day is observed each year on the anniversary of St. Patrick’s death, believed to be March 17, 461.

The first St. Patrick’s Day parade took place in 1601 in St. Augustine, Florida, not Ireland.

On this date 120 years ago, George William Warren, of New York City, an outstanding organist who served at several large Episcopal churches in Albany, Brooklyn, and New York City in the second half of the nineteenth century passed away.  Mr. Warren was well-known as an organist and composer in the nineteenth century and still remembered today as the composer of “National Hymn”, the tune to which “God of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand" is usually sung.

Update on the 14th Street apartment...

3/17/2022

0 Comments

 
Yesterday morning five amazing members from Fort King Church (Marianne, Sally, Steve, Margaret and Mary Beth) met our new friends who will be moving into an apartment on 14th Street. 
They are Chastin and Jose.  They are both delightful people, and very excited about moving into a home. 
Move in date is April 1.  Before that, some of us will be helping them paint their new place.  We have already "gathered" the furniture and most of the major items needed for a home for two people.  Thank you to those of you who are donating furniture and bedding, lamps, and other items.
There are still some things that Chastin and Jose will need for their place. Most of these items are small and over the past day, have already been donated. 
On Sunday, Mary Beth will have a list available for sign up in the narthex after worship.
Thank you in advance for contributing to this meaningful and exciting mission.​


Shalom,
Mary Beth
