This Sunday, January 19:
Service at 10:30 am:
In his book “Stride Toward Freedom” about the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shares the development of his philosophy of nonviolent resistance. Is this method effective today and if so how can it be utilized in our congregational social justice efforts and in our daily lives?

Through Women’s Eyes Festival and Green Room
Through Women's Eyes, a local non-partisan not-for-profit organization, is preparing for its 26th annual “Reel Equals” Film Festival in Sarasota March 7 to 9. The organization is dedicated to gender equality and focuses especially on media, thus the festival features films written and/or directed by women. As feminism advocates for all life, women’s creative critiques often highlight environmental concerns; therefore, this year’s festival will spotlight “green” films.
Coffee and Conversations after the service
Enjoy coffee and other refreshments as you converse with old friends and make new ones. Join a welcoming and loving community as you bask in the sunshine and relax in our lovely garden setting.
