In this annual intergenerational service, we each bring a flower (or several), fill vases and baskets with them, and after blessing the flowers and each other, we each choose a flower that someone else brought and bring it home. If you’re attending online, have your flower nearby and ready for its closeup. And if you forget to bring a flower, don’t worry–there are enough for everyone.

This beautiful ritual was first practiced 99 years ago in the Unitarian church in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Dan will tell us more about in the story.

Worship leader: Revs. Dan Harper and Amy Zucker Morgenstern

Special music: Veronika Agranov-Dafoe
