** This Sunday, Fathers’ Day, June 20, in Worship **
Intergenerational Flower Communion ~ Rev. Kathy Schmitz
BRING A FLOWER!!!
The Flower Communion ceremony has become a beloved annual tradition in many UU congregations. The ceremony celebrates the diversity we bring to our congregations as well as the gifts we receive from one another. Each person is invited to bring a flower with them. These will be combined into a colorful bouquet. Everyone will go home with a flower other than the one with which they arrived. The children will be in the sanctuary for the entire service and are encouraged to bring a flower as well.
