Church Calendar
FCCOL has received a sabbatical grant to support Laura’s upcoming sabbatical this spring. FCCOL is one of over 150 congregations across the United States selected to participate in this competitive grant program, which is funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. and administered by Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis. The renewal program enables congregations to “support their pastors with the gift of sabbath time away from their ministerial duties and responsibilities.”
Laura will be away for three months starting after Easter. She’ll begin her pilgrimage in Assisi, Italy following in the footsteps of peacemaker mystic, St. Francis. Laura and her husband, Paul, will hike and explore their way to England and Ireland. While in Ireland, Laura will visit the peacemaking community of Corrymeela in Northern Ireland. Stay tuned for more details!
Please bring a yoga mat and join Lynn McCarthy at 5:30pm in Fellowship Hall. For more information, please see Lynn’s website here.
Class available Wednesday evenings 6:00-9:00 pm (5 classes starting May 11 – June 8). Cost $100.

“All This Sainted Difference is What God Wants”
Robert Farris Thompson wrote those words in reference to the Black Atlantic religions that he lovingly documented over the course of more than 60 years of teaching and writing. Too often those traditions continue to be misunderstood and mistreated by outsiders. All this sainted difference may be what God wants, but much of the world has behaved otherwise. It’s time to change that. Click here to explore “All This Sainted Difference.”
