Flower Communion
Sunday Service March 24: Flower Communion
This was a tradition begun by Czechoslovakian Unitarian Minister Norbert Capek to celebrate the beauty of diversity in nature and in the congregation. Bring a long stemmed flower to add to a common vase during this service where we will honor our founders, our volunteers, and our new members; our beloved community.

Border Justice Issues
Emilie Vardaman will talk about immigration concerns in our own backyard along the southern border of Cochise County. Join us to hear more about how we can partner with Emilie as she seeks to provide relief to migrants through the two agencies she helped found. Emilie has been an activist around issues of immigration abuses since her early days in 1983 with the Sanctuary Movement. This work, and work for Central American refugees, continued in to the 1990s when she returned to the border and began her work on border issues.

Sunday Service, March 3: Hearts of Wax
