This Flower Communion Service was created by Norbert Capek (1870-1942), who founded the Unitarian Church in Czechoslovakia. The traditional Christian communion service with bread and wine was unacceptable to the members of his congregation. So he turned to the native beauty of their countryside and introduced the Flower Communion Service to our faith.
On this Sunday, bring a flower to share. During communion you will select a flower that speaks to you. A different one from the one you brought. Let us share in this Unitarian Universalist ritual of oneness and love. If you are unable to bring your own flower, we will have one for you to share.
