I am taking a few days off, so I won’t be with you this Sunday.  I hope you enjoy the program our Worship Committee has arranged.

I also want to give you a heads up for the following Sunday, June 25.  We will be celebrating a “Flower Communion” during the worship service.  This requires a bit of preparation from you as we will ask every person attending worship that day to bring a flower with them.  Any flower you like is fine.  The idea is that the various individual flowers will represent each of us in all our unique beauty, worth, and dignity and will make a glorious bouquet together.

The Flower Communion is a Unitarian ritual, first celebrated 100 years ago this month.  I will explain more about the ritual’s origins and meaning during the worship service on June 25, but remember to bring a flower!  (And if you forget, don’t worry, we will have plenty of extra flowers so everyone can participate.)
