'Tis the season of birth and growth and transformation... And nothing symbolizes this season like flowers - and eggs! This morning we will speak of the meaning of this season and we will share the tradition of the Flower Communion, originated by Rev. Norbert Capek, a Unitarian minister who lived in Prague in the last century.
All ages are invited to bring blooms and flowers to contribute to the Flower Communion and to participate in this traditional service!! We will have a few eggs as well as sweets to share at coffee hour! Our young people will be with us for most of the service... and they may have a surprise for their families and other adults at the end of the service! Join us for this joyous springtime service!

Rev. Gail Tapscott who loves to find relationships between seemingly unrelated things, will attempt to tie these three distinct holidays together into a meaningful mix that will help us all to emulate Holy Rascals in our past and understand the importance of the Trickster figure in religion and culture.
In an interactive Coffee House like setting, UUCO members and friends will draw on the prior week's sermon and some relevant handouts to think and talk about their own internal hero. Sharing personal stories is a great community building activity.
Rev. Gail Tapscott will ask us to look at the Heroic archetype in terms of our own life journey. She will look at some materials that specifically address the changing patterns in the roles of both women and men and how that affects our understanding of the image of the hero.
Today we kick off our annual pledge campaign. The board has asked the congregational committees for what is needed to do the work of the congregation this next year and has put together a proposed budget for what it would take for UUCO to continue to be a caring intergenerational community that fosters spiritual growth. What will it take for this community to thrive in celebrating diversity and in being a voice for good in the world?
