June 6, 10:30 a.m. - Flower Communion
Join us as we close the
‘formal’ church year with our annual Flower Communion, a beloved and
widely practiced ritual celebrated by UU congregations all across our
continent as well as by Unitarian churches in eastern Europe. In her
message about a “Twentieth Century Visionary and Martyr,” Barbara
Hagenson will share the story of Norbert Capek and the special service
he created in 1923, 19 years before his death in a Nazi concentration
camp.
Please bring a flower and place it in a vase on the chalice table
before the service begins. The bouquets thus formed symbolize the gifts
each person brings to our church community. At the close of the
service, everyone selects a different flower to take home, symbolizing
the gifts we receive from each other.
June 13, 9:30 a.m. – Annual Meeting
Note that we are
switching to CST (Church Saving Time) as of this Sunday! The main
business of the annual meeting will be to elect officers and approve
the proposed budget for 2010-2011. We will also be scheduling
Sunday services for the coming year. The slate of officers is: Pat
Everly, president; Pat Walke, vice president; Steven Parker, secretary,
and Lin Foster, treasurer.
June 20, 9:30 a.m. – Informal Summer Services begin
These are BYOB (Bring
Your Own Breakfast) get-togethers. A portion of a selected video will
be viewed for about 20 minutes, followed by discussion on that
segment. The two videos chosen are both by Deepak Chopra: “The
Way of the Wizard,” which is subtitled “Reawakening the magic in
everyday life.” The second video is “The Crystal Cave,” or lessons from
the teachings of Merlin.
