Wildflower Dreams

When Cory and Adrian Lemoine first joined our community, they had moved away from their family in another state with the goal of building another family in Austin. Wildflower became this secondary community for them! They are grateful to have the opportunity to raise their two children in a community not only tied together in its shared values but also with others who support their journey in big and space ways – including the ability for their energetic toddlers to run around the church with other caring adults.

While their little ones are too young to join the Children and Youth Religious Education (CYRE) program for now, they are one of many families inspired by Wildflower’s mission and values who are excited to raise their children with love at the center. To support CYRE, our nursery, and other village-building work, make your pledge today!

Originally, moving into the Community Room, it was hard to imagine the future camaraderie, dreaming, and capacity building this space would bring to our neighbors and the Wildflower community. While the room was nice and big, it was missing a huge piece that we know and love today: the wall panels reflecting our UU principles, values, visions, and hopes that showcase the true personality of our congregation. 

Sarah and Kenn went straight to work, proposing to the Board of Trustees a plan of how to make the space feel more cozy and inviting. Using their precious Time as volunteers and Talents as artists and set designers, Sarah and Kenn were able to help create a space that many outside of our congregation cherish to this day. 

Odds are high that if you ask current members what brought them to try out the church, many of them would say they attended an event in the Community Room that piqued their interest. 

Help us maintain this space and continue to host our neighbors, friends, and partner organizations by making your pledge today!
