There is a German proverb that reminds us to “Speak the truth but carry flowers” or is there? This Sunday we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the flower communion ritual based on a German proverb our minister once heard (the origins of which may or may not be in his own false memory.) We will also have a special story for all ages in honor of the hundredth anniversary. Everyone is invited to bring a flower to church to give away and come prepared to receive a flower to take home with you after the service. We will also have special recognition of our congregation’s newest members.

(You can watch our worship service streamed at 11 am on our Facebook page https://tinyurl.com/yfx9pnx6, or our website https://tvuuc.org/ and also on our YouTube channel https://tinyurl.com/ycksxc98.)
