Flowers For Everyone

Homily delivered by Rev. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister, May 13, 2007

One of my favorite memories of growing up Unitarian Universalist was the flower communion service each spring. Before church my brother and I would go into the backyard and cut flowers from our garden, one for each member of our family. We carefully brought the flowers to church and deposited them into a basket on our way into the sanctuary. The part I liked best was getting to choose someone else�s flower from the colorful array to take home. This special service was created in Czechoslovakia prior to WWII. Here at All Souls we celebrate the flower communion each Mother�s Day.

Another All Souls tradition is the Mother�s Day brunch. This year it is being hosted by our Youth Group and the money they raise will go to help fund their upcoming Spirit Quest trip. Please bring a flower and join us for this festive celebration.
