December 1 | Shane Berg

The Politics of the Incarnation

Join us for an exploration of the political themes woven in Luke’s story of the birth of Jesus. We’ll discuss how the Gospel writer boldly asserts the relevance of Jesus’ birth within the Roman Empire, and what this narrative means for our own attempt to live faithfully in a complex world.

December 8 | Joyce Irwin

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

So many Advent themes, so few Sundays in Advent! This Sunday, join us as we discuss timeless Advent hymns. Come to learn not only about the variety of thematic material in the poetry but also the stylistic variety of music from different historical eras.

December 15 | Maria LoBiondo

The Story of the Other Wise Man

First read as a holiday sermon, Presbyterian minister Henry Van Dyke’s parable imagining a fourth Magi’s lifelong search for the King of Kings remains one of his most popular works. Storyteller Maria LoBiondo will share her version of “The Other Wise Man,” as well as a brief history of the author, who was educated at Princeton University and Princeton Theological Seminary and called Princeton home.

December 22 | Dale Allison

The Infancy Narratives of Matthew and Luke

The infancy narratives of Matthew and Luke are very, very different, and they have no parallels elsewhere in the New Testament. Why is this the case? What is distinctive of each narrative? How much history might lie behind them—behind the visit of the magi, the star of Bethlehem, the virgin birth, and so on? And how might we go about interpreting the infancy narratives for ourselves today?

Trudy Borenstein-Sugiura, Artist-in-Residence

2019-2020 Artist Residency

The Worship and Arts committee is pleased to announce our new Artist-in-Residence, Trudy Borenstein-Sugiura.  Trudy is local collage artist who has been commissioned for a Nassau community specific work created from the papers and materials important to (and provided by) our congregation.   All ages will have the opportunity to participate through contributing personal papers and attending workshops, starting with informational presentation on October 20, at 12:15 where you will be able to see a sketch of the final design and even begin to add to the work yourself!  We hope to display this newly-created artwork in worship in May of 2020.  This residency is supported by the Frances Clark Fund and the Ammons Music Fund.

I have been a working artist since attending Philadelphia College of Art and graduating with a BFA from Tyler School of Art. My focus is primarily on jewelry design and goldsmithing and I have sold and exhibited my work internationally.  All the while, I have had a lifelong love affair with paper and have saved, catalogued and hoarded report cards, postcards, travel brochures, invoices, documents, medical records and books of travels, important personal events and several generations of my family’s ephemera.  After the death of my mathematician father, my longstanding interest in paper collage was rekindled; I wanted to make use of and honor his personal papers and writings to make a collaged momento mori portrait of him.  This set me on a new path on which I have been traveling since. In the last 3 years, my work has been exhibited in group and solo shows in NYC, LA, Chicago, Denver, Cincinnati, Princeton, the Nassau County Museum of Art and the Hamptons, and many commissioned portraits are included in private collections.
