Flower Communion 2026
F
as preached at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, May 17, 2026 This sermon is structured a bit different than most of mine. It is split in two parts. In between them we placed a reading, a hymn, and a guided meditation. I’ve put the second reading in today’s post. If you can find the first reading, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Brahma,” here.
