Flower Ceremony: Celebrating Community, Diversity, and Black Joy

speaker:
Sometimes referred to as Flower Communion or Flower Festival, the Flower Ceremony is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings a flower. We collectively bless the flowers, and they're redistributed, with each person bringing home a different flower than the one they brought. Our flower ceremony coincides this year with the celebration week of Juneteenth. Joy is our human birthright and this month we celebrate the palpable joy felt in our Texas communities and beyond. We celebrate Black Joy as one of the many beautiful flowers that makes our bouquet of Wildflowers complete. NOTE:  Please bring a flower to the service to share!!
