In the Flower Communion, each person brings a flower to share, placing it in a communal vase. At the end of the ritual, everyone takes home a different flower, symbolizing the beauty of our individuality and the gift of community. This tradition, first introduced by Czech Unitarian minister Norbert ฤapek, celebrates diversity, gratitude, and peace.
After the Flower Communion, we will dance the maypole dance outside. Each ribbon represents one of usโour presence, our care, our willingness to show up. As we move together, the pattern emerges not because anyone controls it, but because we are paying attention to one another. You are invited to join in however you feel comfortableโby dancing, watching, or simply holding the circle. There is no wrong way to belong.
The Share the Plate recipient for April, May, and June is Jason’s Friends. We collect Share the Plate donations on the first Sunday of each month. However, you are free to donate anytime (please mark donations as โShare the Plateโ).
