Water Communion:
The Color of Water
Join Rev. Schroeder for our water communion on this Sunday, September 7th, for the sermon “The Color of Water”. Services will be at both 9:30 AND 11:15 a.m.
Water Communion Sunday is a worship service of reunion and recommitment. One of the meanings for the word communion is: united in a common fellowship. On Water Communion Sunday, members of First Universalist Church embody our unity and recommitment as Love’s people. We bring a small sample of water from our journeys near, or far during the year, and merge them together in a single body of water. We do this to celebrate our unity as a faith community and remember that we are held in an ocean of love.
Water Communion is an inter-generational service. We will sing, listen to Ann Reed, make a thunderstorm with our hands and feet, and merge the waters in a beautiful dance presented by our youth and young adults.
Just bring a small vial of water from your backyard, or from your travels, to merge with other waters from around the globe. It’s a great day. Don’t miss it!
Theme: We’ve Been Waiting for You
What would it be like to welcome your whole and holy self into this present moment, this community – no judgment, no angst, just a sense of acceptance? And what would it be like to turn to one another in the same open-hearted way? What would it be like to live into the words, “Your gifts and your wounds are welcome here” (Rev. Rob Eller-Isaacs)? We’ve been waiting for you. This month we practice a spirit of welcome and hospitality for all.
