No Two Alike:
Flower Communion

Sunday, June 15, 10 a.m.
Led by Rev. Rob Kinslow

The flower communion service is a Unitarian Universalist tradition. On this Sunday, a flower is gathered from each person into a bouquet, the bouquet is blessed, and everyone is then invited to take a flower other than the one they brought. The significance of the flower communion is that just as no two flowers are alike, so no two people are alike, yet each has a contribution to make. Our common bouquet would not be the same without the unique addition of each individual flower, just as our church community would not be the same without each and every one of us. 

Please bring a flower, either from your own garden or from the field or roadside. (Don’t worry; we’ll have extras on hand.)
