As VIUU’s Service Year draws to a close and the seasons turn once more, we gather for one of our most cherished traditions: the Flower Ceremony.

In this special service, we honor the beauty of diversity, the strength of community, and the growth we’ve experienced together over the past year.

Each person is invited to bring a flower to share—symbolizing the unique gifts we each bring to our shared garden of community. Together, we create a vibrant bouquet, a living expression of our interdependence and shared journey. Through music, reflection, and ritual, we celebrate all that has blossomed among us and plant seeds of hope for the season ahead.

Join us as we mark the end of our service year with gratitude, joy, and the promise of continued growth—each of us a blossom in the garden we tend together.
