Flower Communion – Rev. Krista Taves
Every spring, Unitarian Universalist congregations across North America celebrate the Flower Communion, a ritual created by the Revs. Norbert and Maya Capek who served the Prague Unitarian Congregation in Czechoslovakia between the World Wars. This is a treasured ritual that many of us wait for. On Flower Communion Sunday, everyone is invited to bring flowers to worship. During the service we gather the flowers into large bouquets to symbolize the beauty of the gathered community. Then each person takes a flower home with them to symbolize that we carry this beauty with us until we are together again.
On this Sunday, bring flowers! They can be from your garden, from the woods, from the grocery store, from the gas station! Just bring flowers. You don’t have to be a member to participate. Everyone is welcome. This is an intergenerational service so bring some for the kids. Bring extra if you can for our guests and those who come without so everyone can participate.

Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome.
