The Language of Rowing

Sunday, May 28, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen

In the book “Boys in the Boat”, author David James Brown speaks of when “all eight oarsmen are rowing in such perfect unison that no single action by anyone is out of sync with those of all the others….”  As we gather for our annual meeting, we’ll reflect on the last year and the ways we’ve been rowing together as well as how we will continue to row together as our journey continues.

On Friendship

Sunday, May 21, 2023 at 10 AM in Hobbs Hall.

A multi-platform service led by Heidi Shaffer Bish and Randy Bish.

The “Bring A Friend to Church” tradition returns to UUCK with a special service celebrating friendship! Bring some friends or find them here!

The spiritual practice of friendship enriches our lives, helping us find meaning, strength, solace and belonging.  How does our church community enhance our existing friendships and help true friendships blossom?   Bring a friend (or two) to church for a special service celebrating friendship. This service will be held in Hobbs Hall to make room for more!

Messengers of Love

Sunday, May 14, 2023 at 10 AM

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman, DRE Colleen Thoele, and Worship Associate CLM Lori Mirken-McGee.

In 1923, the Rev. Norbert Capek created the very first flower ceremony for his Unitarian congregation in Prague, Czechoslovakia.  As he blessed the flowers, he spoke of them as “messengers of love”.  His wife Maja brought the ceremony to the United States and now many UU congregations have this ceremony each year in the spring.  As a community of all ages, we will celebrate the flower ceremony with stories, songs, and the ritual of sharing flowers.  If attending in person, please bring fresh flowers to share. If attending via Zoom, please have a flower available for yourself.

A Prayer for the World

Sunday, May 7, 2023 at 10 AM

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Heidi Sumser.

Although we may think of creativity as a gift given to artists, every human being has the ability to be creative.  Peggy Taylor says: “Creativity is our ability to dream things up and make them happen.”  As we explore the May Soul Matters theme of creativity, we will ask what it is we dream about for our world and using different materials, create expressions of our prayers and dreams for the world.
