Sunday morning, we were invited to join our neighbors at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia for their online version of the annual Flower Communion. UUs treasure the story this ritual tells, that we all come together with our unique beauty to create a grand bouquet and come away with something new. We also remember the story of the Flower Communion's creators, Norbert and Maja Chapek; Rev. Norbert Capek's belief in the worth and beauty of each person led him to create this ceremony and also led to his death at the hands of the Nazi regime. These stories remind us of how radical the calling of our UU faith is, and also of the beauty and abundant life that make it all worth it.
Also please note: UUFJC's Annual Business Meeting is coming in two weeks, on Sunday, May 23rd after Services. The agenda, voter list, and last year's minutes are available on request. The Agenda is also included in the May newsletter. In this way we are trying to honor our commitment to post this information in advance of the meeting while adapting to our current mostly-online operations and respecting voting members' privacy. You can request the documents from [email protected] or contact Katherine Connor at [email protected] with questions or concerns.
