Service at 10:00 a.m. "Flower Ceremony" Reverend Donna Dolham
At the start of the summer, members bring and exchange flowers during the worship service. The beauty and diversity of the bouquet represents the gifts we have as individuals gathered into community. The ritual of Flower Communion was begun by Norbert Capek in Prague. Capek founded the Unitarian Church in Czechoslovakia and within twenty years it was the largest Unitarian church in the world. Capek worked for religious freedom and died in a Nazi prison camp in 1942. Our ceremony honors our Unitarian Universalist movement and all those who work for freedom of faith.
