Paint was applied, bromeliads were trimmed and transplanted, drainage issues studied and addressed, mulch moved in the Community Garden, and more-and a reward of conversation and snacks at the end!

In some parts of the world, mothers navigate through war-torn landscapes, shielding their children from the horrors of conflict and displacement. In others, they brave harsh climates and scarce resources, striving to provide nourishment and shelter against all odds. Across cultures, languages, and traditions, the lengths to which some mothers will go to care for their children under extreme conditions can be nothing short of extraordinary. Let us celebrate these and other mothers during this mother’s day service.
And, here at 1U, we honor the work that all mothers do every day by calling out the many ways a mother is recognized by children- where ever she is in the world.
The Pulpit Flowers Group and Flower Garden Team contribute so much to our members’ and friends’ joy. The following are photos of most of our Pulpit Flower givers. We thank them all.
Linda P., the force guiding our celebration of flowers, writes the following:
Our purpose is to provide fresh flowers for display in the sanctuary to enhance Sunday Services, and provide flowers for church meetings, church members, as well as the Care Team, Minister and others to take to those towhom they minister.
The flowers growing in our flower garden which is located at the front of the Enrichment Center are for all the church members/friends/staff and other associated folks/charities.
Some of the members of our group work in the Church Flower Garden help to grow flowers. Some of our members provide fresh flower arrangements from our garden and/or other sources to embellish our Sunday services.
We invite you to sign up to bring flowers once or more per year in memory of loved ones/causes or in celebration of memorable achievements, etc. Or, just because you want to bring flowers for all to enjoy! Email: flowers@orlandouu.org and Linda P. will respond to help you arrange for a specific date.

The fact that we are different from one another is not the issue. The issue is that we have hierarchized the differences, then deemed them good versus bad. Together, let us explore a different way with love, curiosity, and respect, and let’s take a closer look at “pluralism” and article II.
