Flower Communion, 16th July 2023

On Sunday, 16th July, commencing at 10.30am, the Chapel is holding a Flower Communion in the gardens (weather permitting). First celebrated in the Unitarian Church in Prague in 1923 by the Revd. Norbert Capek. His diverse congregation of over 2,000 members, composed of former Jews, Roman Catholics and Protestants, wished to establish their own patterns of worship. The Service includes each participant bringing a flower to be placed in a bowl on the altar. During the Service, the diversity of Creation is celebrated with hymns, prayers and readings. At the conclusion of the Service, each participant chooses a different flower which they give to another member of the congregation. This emphasises that we live in a world that we must share with others. Everyone is welcome to attend this Service.

See you soon!
