Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching. Karen Hsu Patterson, Worship Associate. Pentecost, Memorial Day, and Hajj ask a shared human question: What does it mean to give yourself — your voice, your body, your life — to something sacred or worthy? They remind us that: Spirit creates community; Memory demands responsibility; Pilgrimage changes those who undertake it.

Rev. Jeremiah Lal Shahbaz Kalendae, preaching; Rebecca Haggerty, Worship Associate. While fascism was on the rise in Prague in 1923, Rev. Norbert Čapek, founder of the Unitarian Church in Czechoslovakia, created the Flower Communion to celebrate the beauty of pluralism, community, and spiritual life in the face of the ugliness of fascism’s conformity, exclusion, and death. It was later brought to the US by his partner Rev. Maja Čapek, and it remains a late spring tradition celebrated in many contemporary Unitarian Universalist congregations. Please bring a flower (or a few) to church with you this morning for this special service. Join us for Sunday morning worship in our historic Sanctuary at 18th and Arizona, online or in-person.
