100th Anniversary Flower Ceremony Worship Participants: Rev. Dr. Beth Johnson, Minister Megan Griffin, Worship Associate Pam Fodor, Director of Programs Jamie Pastman, Piano Celebration Singers, led by Julia Beckman This Sunday, we will join Unitarian Universalist and Unitarian congregations around the world in celebrating the Flower Ceremony, developed in 1923 by Norbert Čapek of Prague, Czechoslovakia. The Flower Ceremony (sometimes referred to as Flower Communion or Flower Festival), is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings a flower. Each person places a flower on the altar or in a shared vase. The congregation and minister bless the flowers, and they're redistributed. Each person brings home a different flower than the one they brought. Learn more about the Flower Ceremony

Justice WorkIt is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks, without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air; we all have it or none of us has it. That is the truth of it. ~ Maya Angelou

In addition to the Sunday morning service, members and friends can also gather to study religion and religious history, morality and ethics. They might work to further a cleaner environment or provide help to one another, enjoy one another’s company and just have fun. Like in any organization, church life is enriched the more one participates. The following are some of the committees, events, workshops and programs that help shape this congregation. They are open to anyone interested.

LearnLife becomes religious whenever we make it so: when some new light is seen, when some deeper appreciation is felt, when some larger outlook is gained, when some nobler purpose is formed, when some task is well done. ~ Sophia Lyon Fahs
