Outdoor Flower Exchange
Saturday, June 19 from 10-11 am on the Church Lawn
Online Flower Communion
Sunday, June 20 at 10:30 am on Zoom
Before we celebrate the uniquely Unitarian ritual of the Flower Ceremony on Sunday, June 20, all who wish to can come by the church lawn to participate in a physically-distanced, outdoor flower exchange. Bring a flower to give to someone and we'll give you another one to take home. If you can't find a flower, please come anyway; we'll have extra. Bring your new flower to your Zoom screen on Sunday for the Flower Ceremony!
You can make it a quick stop or plan to stay for the full hour to chat and enjoy each other's presence. We'll put out some chairs for those who want to hang out. As it's also Juneteenth, we'll take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. on June 19, 1865.
We know that not everyone has had equal access to the vaccines, and we want to keep our gatherings as safe as possible for the most vulnerable among us. Please plan to wear a mask to the event. If you'd like to hug someone, this is a great time to practice consent: ask first, and respect their answer! (For example, "It's so good to see you! Would you like a hug? I'm fully vaccinated." gives someone the chance to say, "I am too, and I'd love that!" or "No thanks, I'm keeping some distance, but it's great to see you too!")

Monday Mid-Day Meetup
Meet up with us for some online conversation and companionship. Talk about whatever is on your heart. Every Monday afternoon, we let the conversation evolve informally. Like many conversations, we never quite know what topic will pop up. We might wander from sharing suggestions for books, movies and TV shows, to cleaning tips for your microwave! Sometimes a serious or personal topic springs from our initial check-ins, and group members become compassionate listeners. Mondays at 3:30 pm.
Friday Morning Coffee Hour
Join us Fridays at 10 am for online coffee and conversation with a theme, relying on group participants to provide a focus for the discussion. Every Friday we build more structure into our conversation, which is similar in feel to small group ministry. After a brief check-in, a volunteer from the group presents something they have prepared in advance to focus the direction of the discussion. During the month of June, participants will be sharing photos / music / stories from their pasts.
