Did you know that Rev. Rob Brownlie, a Unitarian Universalist, conducted the first religious same-sex union (non-legal marriage) service in Canada back in the 1970s? Our Unitarian history of belonging goes back a long way and still informs our church today.

About the event
Presenters: Rev. Brian, Elora and Declan Kiely // Worship Associate: Marilyn Raymond
In this Pride-themed service, Brian and family will celebrate our long Unitarian history of welcoming 2SLGBTQI+ people and the warmth of the KU community. We also invite you to stay for our potluck Community Lunch following the Service.
Flower Communion will be held during this service. We ask each person to bring a flower to place in a shared vase. Near the end of the service the flowers are redistributed so that each person takes home a different flower. Don’t worry if you can’t bring a flower. Flowers will be provided for those who need them. For those attending on Zoom, please bring a flower that you can share with others on screen.
