EVERYONE IS ASKED TO BRING A FLOWER – Flower Communion will be celebrated as part of the service on Sunday, June 12. In this ceremony, members of the congregation are asked beforehand to bring a flower to the Sunday service. Upon entering the sanctuary, each person places his or her flower on the altar or in a shared vase. The flowers are blessed by the minister or congregation during the ceremony, and the sermon usually reflects upon the flowers’ symbolism. At the end of the service, each person takes home a flower other than the one that he or she had brought.
