Flower Ceremony: The Hunger for Beauty–What Flowers Teach Us

We brought a flower or two to this intergeneration service about beauty.   In a world that often feels painful and divided, how might beauty help restore our sense of connection, hope, and holiness? Through flowers, nature, art, and everyday moments of grace, this service explores the deep human hunger for beauty and the sacred truths it can reveal. We shared our offering plate with Vermont Abenaki Artists Association in support of their annual heritage festival on June 13-14 at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum and Rutland NAACP in celebration of Juneteenth on June 19.

See our order of service: OOS 6.7.26
