SUMMARY:Jen Gibson — Still\, We Begin Again
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m. \nFlower Communion \nDuring today’s service\, we will celebrate our Annual Flower Communion—a cherished tradition of beauty\, diversity\, and shared community. \nWe invite you to bring a single flower or a full bouquet to place on the altar. After a blessing\, you will be invited to come forward and receive a flower that you did not bring\, symbolizing our shared connection and the gifts we give and receive in community. \nThis simple yet meaningful ceremony honors the cycle of life\, renewal\, and the arrival of spring. Each flower\, unique in its own way\, reminds us of the beauty found in diversity and the strength of our gathered community. \nThe Flower Communion was created in 1923 by Rev. Norbert Čapek\, founder of the Unitarian Church in Prague\, Czechoslovakia. His wife\, Rev. Maja Čapek\, later introduced the tradition to the United States. Tragically\, Norbert Čapek lost his life in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II\, but his legacy of unity and peace lives on through this beloved ritual. \nWe hope you find meaning and joy in this time-honored tradition. \n\nLeader — Reed Richmond \nSpeaker — Jen Gibson \nTitle — Still\, We Begin Again \nTopic — A reflection on Easter and Flower Communion\, exploring renewal\, hope\, and moral courage through the lives and teachings of Unitarian Universalist leaders Forrest Church and Norbert Čapek\, and what their legacy calls us to practice in our own time. \nBio — Jen Gibson is a member of All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church\, where she serves as both the Administrative Coordinator and a member of the Board as Trustee for Social Media\, Advertising\, and Growth. She also serves as a member of the Mansfield United Lions Club. Born and raised in the Mansfield area\, Jen still calls it home\, where she lives with her husband\, Rob\, their daughter\, Carolynn\, and their spirited cat\, Sirius Black. Raised Catholic\, Jen found her spiritual home at All Souls in 2017\, drawn to the church’s balance of humanist values and inclusive spiritual exploration. \nJoin us downstairs after service for coffee and conversation. \nMasks are optional in the building\, and we fully support individuals’ choices regarding their use.
