"Ingathering and Water Communion"
Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Landrum - The Unitarian Universalist Association is debuting a new theme curriculum program for worship, religious education, and small group ministries called “Woven Faith.” September’s theme is “Interdependence” and we’ll explore it throughout this month. Our worship year begins in our new community with a service that reflects our interdependence through the metaphor of living water. You are invited to bring a small container of water from someplace that you connected to this summer or this past year – a place that represents for you a joy or a sorrow, a moment of peace, or a place centered in love. This service will also include our “Backpack Blessing,” which blesses our children and youth as they begin their school year. An ice cream social will follow the service!
