Flower Communion Service and Annual Potluck
Sunday, June 14 at 10:30 am
Stewart Park, large pavillion
Join us in our annual Flower Communion on the beautiful shores of Cayuga Lake. We come together to celebrate the many blessings of being together in community. Please bring a flower to add to our bouquets and you will receive a different flower to take home with you! Also, please bring a dish to share and your own dishes and utensils (to keep this a green event) for our potluck picnic at Stewart Park.
