On March 30, 2015, at the Welcoming Congregation‘s Mulitgenerational Service, members of the congregation were invited to write dreams and wishes on small squares of colored paper. The squares were then assembled into a large Rainbow Flag. The special wishes were written by children and adults, on the squares provided and on corners of the order of service. Each was sincerely written and full of love. We hope you enjoy reading them.
