Family Ties -- Songs of Family Relationships From Babies to Old Folks - Ken Sizmore - July 3, 2016

6/30/2016

0 Comments

 
Drawing on songs from classic folk music as well as some original tunes, Ken will explore through music the beauty, traditions, and love we find in family ties, as well as the challenges, and complexities of our relationships with family members of all ages. 

From his website: "Ken Sizemore has been performing folk and early pop music all over the country for more than 50 years. As a folk singer and guitarist, Ken plays the "classic" folk music of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.  While based in Nashville for almost 30 years, Ken performed as a solo artist, as part of the folk duo "Judith and Ken", and with the folk trio "The Folk Revival". He has done thousands of concerts, clubs, listening rooms, coffee houses, banquets, musical church services, and festivals over the years and has played for audiences throughout the United States. He returns to Nashville several times a year to perform folk music programs.  Ken moved to Panama City in 1999, and has continued to perform all over the southeastern US since then."

Shavuot, Covenant, Commandments -- Father's Day  - Sunday, June 19, 2016 - Don Kartiganer

6/13/2016

0 Comments

 
We will be joined by Don Kartiganer who will speak on: 
 The three-month journey of the Hebrews from Egyptian slavery to Mt. Sinai; the immediate founding of a Covenant between God and the Jewish people, rooted in the offer and acceptance of the Ten Commandments; the instruction to begin the barley harvest in the third month of the year-these all come to together in a single "minor" Jewish holiday. Not untypically in the Hebrew Bible, a mythizied historical event and the first of a series of seasonal festivals become the occasion for another version of the creation of the theological and moral foundations of a people.

He will also be accompanied by Gloria Lenhoff who will be leading traditional Jewish music with song and accordion accompaniment throughout the service.  Amy Pearson will be our Service Leader.

Effects of Late Middle Age Interpretations of the Book of Revelation - Dr. Frances Courtney Kneupper - June 5, 2016

6/3/2016

0 Comments

 
We will be privileged on June 5, 2016 to have Dr. Frances Courtney Kneupper as our speaker. Courtney is a religious and cultural historian of the late middle ages and a professor at the University of Mississippi. For our service, she will focus on interpretations of the book of Revelation throughout history. In particular, she will consider the ways that the book of Revelation has been used to encourage both persecution and positive social action. Courtney's research as a historian focuses on heresy, prophecy, and religious dissent in the Holy Roman Empire. Publications include The Empire at the End of Time: Identity and Reform in Late Medieval German Prophecy and The Wirsberger Brothers: Contesting Spiritual Authority Through Prophecy, in Peoples of the Apocalypse/Völker der Endzeit.  Dr. Kneupper's current project is entitled Future Things are Hidden from Mankind and Ought Not to Be Known: Contesting Knowledge of the Future in the Late Middle Ages.
She lives in Oxford with her husband, Alan Arrivée and two beautiful daughters, Beatrice and Anor.
Mari Kuhnle, Service Leader
