How to Participate in Flower Communion this Sunday

Virtually or in person

This Sunday, June 1, is our annual Flower Communion, when we bring flowers, bless them, and take home a flower that someone else brought, while someone else receives ours.

If you are attending in person, just bring a flower and put it in one of the baskets on the table down the center of the Main Hall when you arrive.

If you are attending online, you can share a flower in a couple of ways. One is of course simply to have a flower there by you and your camera on. Another is to make a background of flowers on Zoom. You’ll need to have a digital photo of a flower, either one of your own or one you download from the internet (here’s how to download photos). Then log in to Zoom and follow these instructions to make that photo appear as your background when you are at the service. Don’t wait until the service to do this–it’ll take a few minutes, and you can do it anytime between now and Sunday.

And please make time to stay for the congregational meeting, which you can attend online or in person. Deciding whether to call a minister is one of the most important things we can do as a congregation, and it doesn’t happen very often. Your voice matters.

See you and your flowers soon!
