An Invitation: Water Communion service is a traditional service for Unitarian Universalist communities, where we witness the blessings of the community gathering together like many trickling streams into a flowing river. We invite you to join us for this ritual of coming together, by bringing some water from your world. Maybe it’s from your garden, or your swimming pool. Maybe you have been working to protect our sacred waters, or you have been playing by the water. And perhaps your relationship with water is strongest from the taps in your house. You can bring tap water to symbolize any water from your travels that you didn’t collect. As we come together this Sunday let us consider how we interact with water in our life, and how it can serve as a metaphor for invitation into community. This multigenerational service will be led by Rev. Danie Webber.
Please bring refreshments, nut-free goodies or fresh fruit for a potluck coffee hour following the service.
Blessing of the Backpacks In this multigenerational service we will also have our traditional Blessing of the Backpacks. Backpacks, suitcases, purses, totes and “invisible backpacks” will be blessed and participants will receive a small token to remind them that the love of our community accompanies them as they start school, work or simply enter Autumn.
