“Song, Scent, & Bloom”
Revs. Tim Temerson & Leia Durland-Jones
This Sunday we celebrate our annual ritual of flower communion. Please bring a bud or bloom from your home (or the store) to place in our communal bouquet. Each person is invited to take a different flower home, as is our tradition. Extra flowers will be available and there will be one for everybody.
The choir will sing several pieces as this service is also our annual Music Sunday.
We will bid farewell to our RE Assistant, Bryn Malone, who is leaving us for full time graduate school, welcome Sunny Ford into the role of RE Assistant, and celebrate Rev. Leia receiving the Unitarian Universalists Association’s MacLean Award for Excellence in
