Easter Lillies

EasterLilyEach year, we offer the congregation the opportunity to purchase one or more Easter lilies per person to decorate the sanctuary for Easter Sunday.

Just as we do with the poinsettias for Christmas, members and friends can purchase a lily for $10 and write a dedication to honor or memorialize someone dear to their hearts.

The dedications will be published in the Order of Service (unless you request anonymity with your donation).

Fill out the form in your Order of Service or call the church using a credit card ($11.00 with the processing fee) and dictate your dedication over the phone.

After the service, the lily is yours to keep.  If you plant it in a shady spot in your yard, it will come back year after year.

Please join us on Sunday (15 February 2015) at 11:00 AM for “One Light, Many Windows” with the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.

This service is a celebration of our third source — “Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life.”

AllSoulsWindows

We are Unitarian Universalists — raising our children and educating our adults to be Unitarian Universalists — so why focus on world religions in our religious education?

As our third source says, we draw wisdom and sustenance from many of the stories and teachings of different faiths, and we gain a greater understanding of those who share this planet with us when we explore their faith traditions.

Come and learn more about where we find common ground, and where we engage and celebrate the differences.
