Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Brainerd/Pine River MN 4/12/14

Greetings! Today we met for the second annual Flower Celebration, in honor of Dr. Norbert Capek, founder of the Czech Unitarian Church in Prague in the 20s.
He originated the Flower Service, in which members and visitors bring flowers for exchange, to commemorate the return of spring and recommitment to the Church. His story is a moving one, being arrested and killed by the Nazis in 1942. We do not have many so martyred in UU history, and surely he is not alone; but his courage and devotion to his beliefs are to be emulated and remembered.

A couple of announcements. The next meeting has been moved to April 16, at 10:30, at Mary's house in Pine River. We will be doing annual business, electing officers, taking care of the budget, setting the calendar. A potluck lunch will be provided. Any UUs and like minded fellow travelers are welcome to attend and get involved. This takes the place of the regularly schedules meeting on April 26.

The Peace folks in Brainerd are holding a TAX DAY vigil on the 15th. Call 218-264-2328 if you are interested and want to become involved.

The Legacy is presenting the next series of musicales April 25-April 27. Aitken First Lutheran Church at 7:30, April 25. Cross Lake Lutheran Church at 7:30, April 26. And at Tornstrom Auditorium in Brainerd, April 27 at 3:30. The Legacy Chorale will be featured, and if you have ever heard them, you will remember how wonderful these voices are. The program is called Legacy on Broadway!
