Sunday Speakers
As a Unitarian Fellowship, we do not have a minister. Instead, we host a series of weekly speakers during Sunday Fellowship who share knowledge on a topic that relates to one of the Seven Unitarian Universalist Principles. The speaker may be a visiting Unitarian cleric or a member of another religion. We gather wisdom from the world’s religions to deepen our understanding and to expand our vision.
Lella Lowe: Exploring a Faith-Based Response to Climate Migration
The global surge in migration over the past decades, often linked to climate change, is now frequently in the news and has spurred a new era of hard-right politics in wealthier countries, including the United States. According to Colette Pichon Battle, a New Orleans-based climate justice strategist and lawyer, “We must start preparing for global migration today. It’s a reality now. Our cities and our communities are not prepared.”
Kelly Childress:
Council on Aging
Kelly will discuss resources available in Baldwin County for the aging population. The Council on Aging’s mission is to serve as an advocate for Baldwin County seniors. To educate and enlist the support of all levels of government, service agencies and private organizations that can assist with securing resources and implementing programs.

FUF Flower Ceremony
The Flower Communion is a UU celebration originated in 1923 by Rev. Norbert Capek, a Unitarian minister in Czechoslovakia and brought to the states by his wife Maja Capek.
This ritual is not a historical reenactment, but an affirmation of our continuity with the generations of struggle for liberty. You are each asked to bring a flower to the Fellowship, from your gardens, field, or roadside. Upon entry, we will place these flowers in a vase. At the end of the service, each of you will take from the vase a different flower from the one you brought. This symbolized the uniqueness of each individual and the coming together in communion to share this uniqueness.
