The Rev. Alison Cornish will lead the Sunday service for First Parish of Northfield, Unitarian, on Easter Sunday. The service will begin at 10 am in person at the church, corner of Parker and Main Streets in Northfield, and on Zoom.
Rev. Cornish describes Sunday’s theme: “In her novel The Book of Longing, author Sue Monk Kidd writes, ‘It has long been a doctrine of the church that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine, but over the centuries his humanity diminished as people accentuated his divinity. Writing from a novelist’s perspective … I was primarily interested in his humanity. And what an extraordinary human being he was.’ In fact, Kidd’s portrayal of Jesus in her wonderful novel is in close alignment with what Unitarians and Universalists have celebrated about Jesus for centuries.”
A story and a craft will be offered by Jenny Wooster for the younger children during the service, after The Story for All Ages. To participate on Zoom, request the link from fpnorthfieldma@gmail.com. Masks will be required for those attending the church. All are welcome!
