Flower Communion See Order of Service below or HERE |
Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Rev. Maya Capek, Norbert's widow.
In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings a flower. Each person places a flower on the altar or in a shared vase. The congregation and minister bless the flowers, and they're redistributed. Each person brings home a different flower than the one they brought.
Join us in person or online as you share the beauty and gift of a flower. Share pictures of your favorite flower ASAP so we may merge your offering with good music.
See you soon as we share the beauty we know and love!

Prelude Welcome & Chalice Lighting Congregational Response: We light this chalice, which transforms oil into pure light and warmth, to remind us of our own living – transforming the ordinary stuff of this world into the love and activity of our daily lives. As we remember Marietta, may our grief be transformed to healing as we move forward in wholeness and love. -Adapted from Mira Mickiewicz Hymn #298, Wake Now My Senses Opening Prayer Family Remembrance Reading: Blessing for the Brokenhearted by Jan Richardson | Service Leader: Nina Kuzniak Song Leader: Sam Wren Pianist: Maggie Mooha Chalice Lighter: Adira Ekpoudia |

Requiem Prayer
Hymn #123, Spirit of Life
Responsive Reading: A Common Destiny by David H. Eaton
All living substance, all substance of energy, being, and purpose, are united and share the same destiny.
All people, those we love and those w know not of, are united and share the same destiny.
Birth-to-death we share this unity with the sun, earth…
… our brothers and sisters, strangers…
… flowers of the field, snowflakes, volcanoes, and moon beams.
Birth – Life – Death
Unknown – known – unknown
Our Destiny: from unknown to unknown.
May we have the faith to accept this mystery and build upon its everlasting truth.
Hymn #121, We’ll Build a Land
Benediction & Chalice Extinguishing
Congregational Response
We extinguish this flame, but not the love light in our hearts. May this brightly light the path of healing, remembrance, and love that we walk together.
