This morning was our annual Flower Communion. Our members and friends brought a beautiful variety of flowers to share, symbolizing the beautiful and diverse gifts we bring to our Fellowship community. Like a seed or a bud, when we come together we turn inward and gain strength, but the flowers of spring remind us to use that strength to open outward and share our gifts with the larger world.
Next Sunday, April 3rd:
Adult Forum - 9:15 am
"Religious Ideas for Non-Believers," Laura Gilkey
We will view and discuss a TED talk by Alain de Botton in which he describes powerful ideas from the world's religions that can benefit everyone, believer or not.
Service and Religious Education - 10:30 am
Message: "In Too Deep: Helping our Friends, Children and Ourselves," Rev. Mike Adamek
When and how should you intervene if you suspect someone’s relationship is going bad? Would you know what to do? Abusive relationships exist but often they did not begin that way. How might you offer to help?
If you have a joy or concern that you would like to have read during the Service, please submit it through our website: http://uufjc.org/joys--concerns.html
