Reflection...
Give the ones you love
wings to fly,
roots to come back
and reasons to stay.

~ Dalai Lama

Sunday Service 
Sunday, June 16 - Rev. Beth Marshall
Pamela Hendrick, c oordinator
10:30 AM:   "Roots Hold Me Close, Wings Set Me Free"

Guided by Rev. Norbert Capek's vision and writings for his original Flower Service in 1923, this morning we will celebrate both individual gifts and responsibility to the larger community.  As part of the celebration, everyone is invited to bring with them a flower or twig to contribute to our shared bouquet.  We will also hold a Child Dedication ceremony  and honor Fathers on this special Sunday.
  
All Congregation Service
Children and Youth remain in the sanctuary with families. Nursery care for infants through age 4 is available.


Join Us for a Farewell Concert 
with Susan Holmes-Glazier & Friends!
Benefit for UUCGT  (freewill offering at the door)

We are saddened that Susan will be leaving UUCGT in August
and wish her and her family the very best!
