August 27, at 10 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “Unitarian Universalist Flower Ceremony”
The Flower Ceremony is a special Unitarian Universalist "ritual" in an organization that doesn't have traditional sacraments.
Rev. Mana’ar Johnsons will explain the inspiring history behind the ceremony, begun by a European minister who died in a concentration camp.
“It allows us an opportunity to reflect on our community, its beauty and diversity. We consider what gifts we bring, symbolized by a flower we offer, and we are grateful for what others bring to our fellowship. We take home a different flower to remind us of our own beauty and that of others in our lives,” Johnson said.
“It will include beautiful poetry and music, and beautiful photos by Andrew Tree of the wildflowers of Grant County, NM. Bring a single flower with you, but don't worry if you forget, we will have a few extras,” she added.
