Join us on Sunday, September 13, 2026 at 11am in person or on ZOOM as we come back together to begin the 2026-2027 Service Year with our
"In-Gathering Water Service"
LUUF's Water Ceremony is based on the Unitarian Universalist ceremony started in 1980. The original authors have said "the ocean is considered by many to be the place from which all life on our planet came—it is the womb of life—and that amniotic waters surround each of us prenatally, we now realize that [the service]was for us a new story of creation.”
Bring water to share from a place that is important to you or use the water we will have available as a symbol of that place. We will combine the waters, including water saved from previous years, while participants share water's personal connections as well as any global thoughts they may care to share. As we combine the water from all our sources, we commit ourselves to each other and our larger community in the coming year. After the service we will sprinkle some of the water around the grounds as we reconnect our community with the grounds that our Fellowship calls home.
All are invited to Coffee and Conversation following the service.
