It has been said that we are co-creators with God. Theism aside, what does that look like? And what does it mean to be a creative people?

The Promise and the Practice

This service will celebrate the words and music by Unitarian Universalists who are people of color. UUCL will join other UU congregations in taking up a special collection, with our collective gift matched dollar for dollar, to support the Black Lives UU movement.

Easter/Flower Communion

A celebration of the rebirths in our own lives with the Flower Communion–an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Rev. Maya Capek, Norbert’s widow. Please bring a flower to share. You’ll take a different one home. It’s beautiful.
