At First Parish of Northfield, Unitarian we will continue September’s theme of “Relationship” this Sunday. The Rev. Alison Cornish will lead us in examining the role of community in helping shape who we are as individuals. Patricia St. Onge notes, “The Western, and particularly U.S. frame of reference for identity is often, ‘I am; therefore, we are,’ and indigenous worldviews frame it as ‘we are, therefore I am.’” We’ll take a look at both of these worldviews, and ask – when might each serve us as individual, and also serve the greater good? What might be the role of religious community in helping us find our identities within the multiple communities to which we belong?
Our Sunday Service takes place at 10:00 am outdoors, weather permitting, at the church (corner of Parker Ave. and Main St., Northfield), and on Zoom. All are welcome to participate, including children and youth. If you are coming in person, please wear a mask and consider bringing a folding chair, if you can. Request a link for the Zoom link by email to fpnorthfieldma@gmail.com. [Artwork Credit: Shelby McQuilkin.]
