Wildflower Enters a Time of Community Building and Transition this Sunday, March 1st
Wildflower is taking time to spend more time together through April 12th, to get to know one another and build relationships as we engage in the often-challenging work of healing and envisioning change.
We will start our time each Sunday with a half hour of worship and then spend time together in conversation over food. After this time, there will typically be an event related to our well-being and community transition.
We will provide childcare on request for certain sessions. The Children’s and Youth Religious Education classes will start at the same time as the service, and end with time for the participants to enjoy food with their accompanying adults.
The general flow of Sunday mornings is below. Please watch what emerges in the time frame after the Community service and food! Our facilitated transition processes are not solidified because this kind of collective work often unearths hidden needs. Our facilitator will be working to help us meet them. Many teams and members of the Board are working closely to support this new period in our church life. Please consider being present on Sundays to contribute to the development of our community and feed yourself spiritually and relationally!

Wildflower Church is a deliberately inclusive, open-minded religious community in the Unitarian Universalist tradition,
growing spiritually together, spreading love, justice, and joy!
We create our community by covenanting one to another, using our Covenant for Beloved Community. We meet in South Austin, at the campus we share with Faith Presbyterian.
Wildflower Covenant for Beloved Community
The spirit in me welcomes the spirit in you, in all our wholeness and imperfection.
We celebrate our connections and our differences.
We actively seek to create equity as we build relationships with one another.
We care for one another and for ourselves.
We listen to others with respect and open hearts, intending to understand.
We speak to others with respect and kindness, intending to be understood.
We make every effort to settle differences directly and openly.
This beloved community is our spiritual home: we all share our gifts to build it.
We commit to be in covenant and to be called back into covenant.

We have community space available to rent!

What is Unitarian Universalism?
Unitarian Universalism’s (UU) faith tradition is diverse and inclusive. We emerged from the union of two radical Christian groups: the Universalists, who organized in 1793, and the Unitarians, who organized in 1825; they joined to become the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) in 1961. Across the globe, the UU legacy reaches back centuries to liberal religious pioneers in England, Poland, and Transylvania. We are people of all ages, people of many backgrounds, and people of many beliefs. We are brave, curious and compassionate thinkers and doers. We create spirituality and community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and more love in our own lives and in the world.
Unitarian Universalism draws from our heritages of freedom, reason, hope, and courage, building on the foundation of love. We covenant, congregation-to-congregation and through our Association, to support and assist one another in our ministries.
Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. The values we share include all the following, which we hold as inseparable and deeply interconnected:
Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.
Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.
Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.
Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.
Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.
Wildflower Church is part of the UUA, which helps support more than 1,000 member congregations in the United States of America. Each UU congregation is autonomous—congregational leaders set their own priorities and choose their own ministers and staff. The UUA’s member congregations are all committed to inseparable and deeply interdependent shared values of interdependence, transformation, generosity, pluralism, justice, and equity—all centered around love.
