Come on out to 2U today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for our annual rummage sale. Come find some great deals and help raise some money for the church.

Stop by 2U this Saturday for some great deals!

2U has a number of spaces in our building available for rentals. We have rented facilities for weddings, reunions, memorial services, parties, team building group events, social events, fundraisers, and so on! 2U has a full kitchen, 2 bathrooms in the Palmer Room, 1 bathroom in the Loft and Accessible lift to the Palmer Room as well as entry door on the East side of the building. In addition to our internal space, 2U has beautiful maintained gardens! We even won a city wide Gardening Award in 2017 for our grounds in the category of public spaces. Every season has various beautiful outdoor plantings, perfect for photos! Please contact our church administrator for any rental inquiries at [email protected] or call 773-549-0260. You are welcome to stop by for a tour Sunday-Thursday between 9am-3pm (call ahead for appointment).

This year's children's service was called, "We All Have Gifts to Share" and highlighted all the gifts that the children have to share with all of us.

Sunday, June 9th, 10:30am, please join us for our annual Children's Service! This year the theme is "We all have gifts to Share". Be inspired by the art, music, poetry and presence that the children of 2U bring into our lives.

This year's annual thrift store outing with hostess, Jill Althage, was wonderful as usual. You too can join in the fun next year if you buy a ticket at the 2U Fall Fest.

Regarding the GARDENING SESSION for Saturday, June 1st, the forecast doesn't look great, and if it's raining hard, then we'll have to skip the session. Hoping that it'll be clear and we can weed--the weeds are growing quickly and it'd be good to keep them in check while it's still fairly early in the season. If you have diggers, then please bring them along! Gloves would probably be good, too. Fingers crossed! Please call or text Monica for an update that morning if you are planning on joining. 312.550.3412

FLOWER COMMUNION: Sunday, JUNE 2nd, 10:30am. We will celebrate a uniquely Unitarian ritual, Flower Communion. It's a ceremony that was created by Czechoslovakian Unitarian minister Nobert Capek. He wanted his congregation in Prague to have a ceremony that symbolized that, though they held differing beliefs, they all had gifts and graces they contributed to their church family. That congregation was 3,200 members and nearly 300 children. Norbert Capek believed that, "Religion should, before all else, provide that inner harmony which is the precondition of strong character, good health, joyful moods, and victorious, creative life." And so for our Flower Communion Sunday, please bring a flower or green to contribute to the common arrangement that we will create at the beginning of the worship service. The flowers or greens represent the gifts and graces we each contribute to this congregation. During the service, we will bless the flowers and greens. At the end of the service, you are invited to take home a different flower or green than the one you brought. This symbolizes that there are gifts and graces that we all receive from being part of this congregation. If on the way to church you realize that you forgot to bring a flower or green, please don't distress nor steal one from a neighbor's yard along the way. There will be extra flowers and greens for visitors and anyone who arrives empty-handed. We will also have a New Member Ingathering this service.
