The Within Phase of Beloved Conversations: Virtual will continue in the Spring Term. We would love to have you (and everyone you know!) join us for another term of this program, with a continued focus on personal learning and growth!
Celebrate our children and youth and the programs that support and nourish them at the congregation. We’ll hold our annual high school senior bridging, volunteer recognition, and the Flower Communion together on this special Sunday. The Flower Ceremony is one of our beloved Unitarian Universalist annual rituals that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Čapek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Rev. Maya Čapek, Norbert's widow.
Please bring a flower to have with you in the worship service and have it with you online. We will bless the flowers, offer gratitude to the beauty and diversity of nature in human, animal, and plant forms.
Join together transplanting winter squash and pumpkin plants at the "Bank", that is the Food Bank Farm in Snohomish. It's a chance to get outside, and off the screen, enjoying the fresh air, learning about food growing and how far generosity can go! Planting is done standing up by using a transplanter tube that makes a hole in the ground and drops the plant into the hole. Work is in teams of two. One person uses the planter tube. The other person drops the plant into the ground. Little bending required! Farmer Jim says this work is suitable for children with supervision, youth, families, adults....everyone and it is rain or shine! We have a chance to work and learn outside.
