All-Ages Worship – "Flower Ceremony"
Rev. Dr. Molly Housh Gordon
and DRE Jamila Batchelder
Join us for our beloved annual all-ages Flower Ceremony, a Unitarian Universalist celebration that dates back to 1923 Prague. Bring a flower with you to share in our common bouquet, and you’ll go home with a different flower brought by one of your fellow UU Churchers. We’ll also have beautiful music from our choir.
Livestream options: Zoom • Facebook
In the spirit of courageous love,
we forge a community of radical
welcome and deep connection that
moves us together to heal the world.
We invite you to join us.
May 4 sermon video
On May Day Sunday, May 4, 2025, Rev. Molly's sermon was "Stop and Smell the Roses." She said the "Bread and Roses" textile workers strike in Lawrence, Mass. in 1912 "...showed our nation that multi-racial, multi-gender solidarity wins, and that what it seeks to win is the fullness of the earth and all that is therein."
