Flower Communion Service at FPC on June 7

On Sunday, June 7, at 10 a.m., the First Parish Church of Stow and Acton will celebrate diversity with its annual Flower Communion Service.

For this service, each person brings a cut flower or two to place in a communal basket. The resulting bouquet symbolizes the diversity of those present, including the many blessings, gifts, and talents each brings to the community. At the end of the service, each person takes a different flower home, to remind them to be grateful for all we receive from others in our community.

The basis for this service was brought directly to the Stow church by First Parish’s late Minister Emeritus, The Rev. Don Kafka. This is a very meaningful service that really communicates what is at the heart of the Unitarian Universalist faith tradition. If you’re interested in learning more about Unitarian Universalism, this would be a great service to attend. All are welcome.

FPC is located at 353 Great Road in Stow (at the intersection of routes 117 and 62) and is wheelchair accessible. For more information, contact the church office at 978-897-8149 or visit www.fpc-stow-acton.org.
