What’s more beautiful than a flower? Its beauty is only the beginning. What diversity too! Flowers come in all shapes and sizes – red, pink, yellow, white and all shades of purple — tiny to tall, dainty to thorny, round to columns. If you combine them all, what do you have? One big beautiful bouquet! It’s like a UU congregation. When we UU’s come together as people of various colors, shapes, and sizes, that’s what we are: one big beautiful diverse bouquet.

Every year on the first Sunday of June, UU’s around the world celebrate Spring’s diverse, colorful beauty in a ceremony called Flower Communion. This year on June 7th, BRUU will join UU’s worldwide to celebrate the beauty, diversity and community of all congregations, using flowers as the medium.

Calling all adults and children! Flower Communion on Sunday, June 7th. Bring a flower for each person in your party. Arrive a little early so that you can stop by the tent in BRUU’s garden on the east side of the building and pick up a “blessing strip” for your flower. (We’ll explain more that day.) Once you have your blessing strip stapled to your flower, you can proceed to the sanctuary because there’s a beautiful Flower Communion service about to begin!
