We celebrated the annual ritual that has been a tradition in Unitarian Universalism since 1923. The children joined us and lead parts of our service. Each person brought a flower so that we could build a beautiful bouquet to symbolize the unity we can create from our diversity. Here is the history of Flower Communion.
Transformation happens over and over again throughout our lives. We explored the steps found in all mythological journeys to transformation and how each step takes us to our highest potential. Here is the music video shown during the sermon: I have been blessed to have lived several lives in this one. Many of you have as well. To be awakened into a new life can be both jolting and joyful. "Spirit of life, come unto me." We celebrated together the daily opportunity we are given to be born again.
