About the event
Join us Sunday May 17 as we continue the beloved tradition of Flower Communion, begun over 100 years ago in Czechoslovakia and cherished by UU congregations around the world, celebrating the beauty of our uniqueness and diversity, interconnectedness, life, and community. Prairie Circle members and friends are invited to bring a flower or two from their yard, garden, local florist, nearby field or store to share with all in this beautiful and heartfelt ceremony. This year's service includes highlights from the Flower Communion held as public witness and protest at the Broadview Detention Center this past fall, as well as music selections from our PCUUC choir. As is our own unique PCUUC tradition, we will meet for our Flower Communion celebration at Nippersink Forest Preserve for worship and fellowship in this magnificent setting.
