Rev. Meg Barnhouse's sermon delivered on May 31, 2020. It is once again time for one of our most beloved traditions. In a more usual year we would gather and bring a flower from somewhere along our path to share and take one from the altar. Bring a reminder of new life and the movement of the seasons and sharing it with the others gathered is a beautiful way to enjoy the bounty and goodness of our green earth. This year, due to sheltering and striving for safety within our lives, we are doing it differently. We need your help to make it happen!

Though this is a difficult and challenging time, it also provides us with an opportunity to truly realize our interconnectedness - to know we can only get through this together, even as we cannot be physically together.
