From Seeds February – March 2025

Pictured is the beautiful communion tablecloth dedicated in worship on 5 January. The cloth is the result of the skill, patience and dedication of Fiona Somerville, who says she ‘crazy quilted’ the cotton scraps donated by others in the congregation.
The cloth celebrates so many stories in the donated fabric that makes up the patchwork surrounding the central dandelion images.
As Fiona Bennett reflected at the dedication, AUC’s dandelion logo says much about our discipleship: its roots can be used to make medicine, and keep us strong and healthy; we support one another as the stalk supports the yellow flowerhead, in glorious radiance as we bring our worship; the leaves can bring nourishment; and the dandelion clock is a mass of seeds that carry on the wind just as we are seeds of hope and love in our discipleship of transformation.
We are rooted in God’s love; we support each other; we offer nourishment; we worship God; and we seek to be a part of God’s transformation in the world.
Our thanks to Fiona Somerville and all who have contributed to this special gift.
