Join us as Gordon Diddons leads us through a special intergenerational service we are calling the Flower Celebration. In this beloved practice, everyone is invited to bring a flower if they can, and each person will return home with a different flower, symbolizing the unique gifts we each bring and the community we create together and celebrating our interconnectedness and community.

This service is rooted in the Unitarian tradition of the Flower Communion, first created in 1923 by Norbert Čapek at the Unitarian Church in Prague, Czechoslovakia where he was the founding minister. The service was brought to the United States in 1940 by Dr. Capek’s wife, Maja Capek, also an ordained minister. Dr. Capek died in a concentration camp in 1942.

This ritual offers a unifying and inclusive alternative to traditional communion—one that honors beauty, diversity, and shared connection without alienating those who have left other faith traditions. This is a service best experienced in person, and we warmly invite you to join us for this time of reflection, connection, and renewal.
