For Pride Sunday, Pastor Barbara drew on many sources – – scripture (Galatians 5:1,13-25 and Luke 9:56-62 ), her childhood love of basketball, the folk arts of the Pennsylvania German tradition and the ongoing saga of LGBTQ rights – – to find the essential, universal rule of all great struggles: Always take the long view and keep your eyes on the prize.
*Scherenschnitte (German pronunciation: [ˈʃeːʁənˌʃnɪtə]), which means “scissor cuts” in German, is the art of paper cutting design. The artwork often has rotational symmetry within the design, and common forms include silhouettes, valentines, and love letters. The art tradition was founded in Switzerland and Germany in the 16th century and was brought to Colonial America in the 18th century by Swiss and German immigrants who settled primarily in Pennsylvania.
