Beginning Again, Yet Again!
Water Ceremony and Ingathering Service
with Rev. Scott Rudolph, Minister
Sunday, September 13th at 10 a.m.
Featuring special music from our Choir led by Sterling Roberts
We come back into community as the summer closes with our beloved ritual of joining waters together from our travels, or maybe just from our kitchen sink. If you’re able, please bring 2-4oz of your special water in a sealed container to participate. We will have water to share as well. We hope you will join us as we celebrate the beginning of a new Fellowship year.
After the service, we kick off this autumn with a potluck. You are invited to bring a dish to share if you are able. If not, no worries. Please come anyway as there will be plenty to eat!
OUR MINISTER
On Connectedness
by Rev. Scott
In 1820 in Boston, Unitarian minister William Ellery Channing said, “Religion, we are told, is a private, personal thing, between the individual and God. His neighbor or the community must not meddle with it… I would maintain that religion is eminently a social principle… The social character of religion is not sufficiently regarded.”
OUR BELIEFS
Diverse Beliefs, One Fellowship
Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations draw on elements of a variety of religious traditions, as well as humanitarian and environmental values, for our spiritual inspiration and practice. UUs have a diversity of beliefs, and may identify as humanists, atheists, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, something else, or nothing at all. As we celebrate diversity, we also have a set of core beliefs that unite us.
