Sunday, June 14th, Karen Fothergill will present the topic for our service, the history of human celebration of the “Summer Solstice.”

Please join us to learn more about how the Summer Solstice is celebrated among various religious paths.

As Unitarian Universalists, we have a proud tradition of responding to the imperatives of love and justice to work with those of us who are marginalized and oppressed in society and the world. Unitarian Universalists covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equality and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another.

Newcomers of all religious paths or none at all are always welcome. We are handicapped accessible. Child care is available.

Please join us Sunday at our new location located in the Vendor Blender and Event Center, 588 Addison Avenue West, at 10:30 AM. The Vendor Blender is located near the old hospital near the intersection of Martin St. and Addison Avenue West. Please park in the rear of the building and use the entrance on the west side of the building.

Presenter: Rev. Elizabeth Greene

On Sunday we will have the ceremony of Flower Communion, and Rev. Greene will preach on the life of Rev. Norbert Capek, a brave and wonderful Czech minister who created the Flower Communion.

Be sure to bring a flower (or several) to church. In this inter-generational service, everyone—of all ages—will bring a flower and place it in the large vase in front of the congregation, before church starts. In the service, just before the kids go to their room, we will sing “Mother Spirit, Father Spirit.” While that is being sung, we will all file forward and take a flower that someone else has brought, symbolizing the bonds of community.

Of course, sometimes people forget to bring a flower, and there are often newcomers who do not know that we are doing Flower Communion—which is why we suggest that some of us bring more than one. Just as community involves reaching out to each other in times of abundance and also in times of scarcity, we provide beauty for each other, even if someone has forgotten.

One more thing, about which you will hear more in a few days: the Worship Committee is meeting from 10 am to noon at Karen Fothergill’s house on Saturday, June 6, to start planning worship for next year. Please send any ideas you might have, or suggestions of any kind about subjects, speakers, music, or anything else worship-related, to Ken Whiting. He will see that the Worship Committee and Elizabeth Greene get everything you send.

Rev. Greene sends you a reminder: “I am arriving on Friday, mid-day, and am available for a mid-afternoon meeting with anyone who wishes, also available for dinner that evening. Don’t be shy!!”

REMINDER: This is to remind all MVUUF Members and Close MVUUF Friends, we will be having our Annual Congregational Meeting after our regular service this coming Sunday, May 17th.

It is spring, the time of emerging life, of new coming forth from the old. Less obviously, spring can also give us a chance to reflect on how our lives develop through the cycles of light & dark, how we change & grow & deepen.

Rev. Greene will consider how our lives flow, as individuals, and as groups. She will consider church progress and also our souls’ spiritual progress.
