Christina Strok Born in El Salvador in 1982, Christina was adopted as an orphan at the age of one year, and raised in Ohio in a log cabin on ten acres of farmland. She was surrounded by farm animals and nature, and was strongly influenced by her scientist father and photographer/artist mother to learn to draw. Thus began a life-long interest in drawing, architecture, interior design, and designing web sites. Christina currently works in her home studio. Inspired by poetry, music, and writing stories, she never sketches beforehand, but rather improvises as she draws. Very strong willed and focused, she hopes to be the next art movement. Her motto is “Grandiose thoughts are always there.”
There will be an opening reception from 12 to 2:30 p.m. in Forbes Hall on Sunday, April 7. The closing reception is at Noon on April 28.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service Dancing with your shadow in the Season of Lights. A star appears in the night sky, angels visit shepherds, and a poor child is born in a manger. Come hear the ancient story and consider its meaning to our lives and our world. It may stir our imaginations and warm our hearts this winter season. Our special Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will be livestreamed from our sanctuary at 7 pm. There is limited seating available for those who register with the office in advance. On Christmas Eve, the offering will go to the Minister’s Discretionary Fund.
UPDATE 12/14/21:
We have decided to increase the seating capacity to allow for 20 members and friends in the Sanctuary and 10 in Forbes Hall, in addition to our staff members and choir. Unfortunately, as we are still in the transitional phase of the pandemic, we have to restrict in-person attendance to members and friends. We require vaccination, well-fitting masks, and social distancing while on the church campus.
Don’t forget your mittens! It will likely be cold in both spaces as we have to open the windows and doors to provide good ventilation, so please dress warm and come prepared for a chilly but moving holiday service.
You can register to attend with the church office on a first-come, first-served basis. You will need to send Cyndee Hayes a picture of your COVID-19 Vaccination Card (and vaccination cards for everyone in your party), if you have not done so already, to register to attend in person. You can use this form to RSVP.
Our Online Candlelight Christmas Eve Service is accessible to all of our families and friends, so we hope to be with you virtually, if not in person, this year on our Facebook Page or through YouTube.
Vaccine Boosters
We encourage everyone to speak with their healthcare providers about the appropriateness of receiving a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccines to help protect you and the larger community. Waning antibodies means many of us no longer have the protection we once did and it makes sense to boost protection this holiday season if you haven’t already. A booster shot is not yet required to attend in-person services and meetings, but we encourage you to consider it with your healthcare provider.
May we all be open to receiving the joy of beloved community this holiday season!
