Ingathering Water Communion Worship service on 9/11

It's time to kick-off the 2011-2012 Program year! Join us this Sunday, September 11th,  for multigenerational celebration and Worship in the Sanctuary. We will "Begin Again in Love" with a traditional, intergenerational, water communion ritual. You are invited to bring a small container of water symbolizing your summer experience. If you would like, during the service you may also use a short phrase to share your understanding of the summer’s significance to you. 


Our children and youth will play an important role in our multigenerational worship; all children and youth are invited to help lead the congregation in our chalice lighting. Try saying these words at home to practice!


We Light this chalice to celebrate Unitarian Universalism;
The church of the open mind, loving heart, and helping hands;
We help our Earth and each other. 


If your child is sharing a reading during the service or has volunteered to help the ushers, please plan to arrive by 10am so that we may rehearse. 

The service will be followed by a huge gala, including food, children’s activities and great conversation.
