Dear SUUS Families,
We had a jam packed weekend last week, and I have SO many great pictures to share! Thanks to all who participated in the Green UP Clean UP, Meigs Point Nature Center “Animal Olympics” and then the Beltane celebration on Sunday! It was a joyous weekend to be together, and we sure did have FUN!
This Sunday, we will gather for an outdoor Multigenerational Service at 10:30am at SUUS where we will celebrate “Mother Spirit” & Flower Communion. There will be activity boxes for families to make tissue paper and pipe cleaner flowers to share as gifts for those you honor on this special day. Don’t forget to bring a flower or two to create our beautiful bouquet of LOVE & COMMUNITY!
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday morning!
Love,
Amy

Multigenerational Multiplatform Service (outdoors @ SUUS and on ZOOM)
Please bring a flower to SUUS this Sunday! Service will be outside. No reservations needed. The Flower Ceremony, sometimes referred to as Flower Communion or Flower Festival, is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Rev. Maya Capek, Norbert’s widow.
