Our bodies are sacred, and also sometimes our bodies are difficult to exist in. The world is not made for all of our bodies. But those of us who were born “able-bodied” are really only temporarily able-bodied; at some point, all of us find ourselves grateful for ramps, hearing aids, large print, and audio assistance. … Continue reading Our Bodies, Our Selves
It’s our very first Flower Communion in the new building! Come learn about this uniquely Unitarian Universalist tradition about beauty, rebirth, and joy. You can bring flowers from your garden to share, or just come and take away a flower when you leave.
