Today’s Topic:

Multi-Generational Service with Flower Ceremony!  

Please join us for Rev. Dena’s last worship service before her retirement when we’ll celebrate the Unitarian Universalist Flower Ceremony, engage in a retirement ritual of blessing and release, and enjoy so much music to honor this transition in the life of our community! Remember to bring a flower from home, your neighbor’s garden, or a weed along the road to add to our community bouquets (we’ll have extra flowers available). We’re invited to take home a different flower to symbolize the freedom of receiving the beauty of love’s abundance.  

Worship Team:

Rev. Dena McPhetres, Associate Minister
Rev. Jennifer Nordstrom, Senior Minister 
Desiree Pointer Mace, Worship Associate 
Tristan Strelitzer, Choral Director with Chancel Choir 
Alissa Rhode, Lead Music Director with House Band  

Livestream at 9:00 am:
