“Breathe In, Breathe Out” A Flower Ceremony Sunday with Rev. Daniel Lawlor, Minister
This defiant Pride Month, let us gather for a flower ceremony! Together, we celebrate a sacred Unitarian ritual born in the tumultuous 1920s, honoring the love that unites us, the diversity that strengthens us, and the compassion that accompanies even during hard times. Our non-creedal religious community will honor the wondrous change from Spring to Summer, and anchor our commitment to inclusive democracy. Join us as we take a special moment to say "Thank you!" to Blake Rowe, our Director of Music, who is preparing for sabbatica, as we gather for song, meditation, special music - and our annual end of Spring fire drill and scavenger hunt!
Join us in person every Sunday at 10am for our hour-long sevice followed immediately by a coffee hour featuring refreshments and snacks. All are welsome.

Sundays for children and youth
Children are encouraged to join their families in the sanctuary where they are welcome to help ring the building’s bell. After the first 15-20 minutes of the service, they have the option of joining the religious exploration leader in the adjoining hall for activities and age-appropriate religious exploration. Childcare is also available for the very young. Of course, all are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the entire service.
