Join us Sunday, September 6, 2026 for our Sunday Morning Service at 10:30 am
“Water and the Force of Nature”
September 6 will also be our Water Communion Service. Bring a small container of water from a place that has been important for you during recent weeks. It can be water from your kitchen, a summer job, or a river that you’ve visited while on vacation. There are many possibilities. All of the water will be poured into a large bowl to celebrate our annual water communion.
Water Communion
Our water communion refers to the symbolic use of water where individuals merge waters from meaningful sources to represent their individual journeys coming together as a community.
Guest Speaker – Rev. Bob Murphy
Rev. Robert (Bob) Murphy is an Unitarian Universalist community minister for Florida. Bob asks people to love and care for each other and their natural environment during some difficult days for planet Earth.
Worship Associate – Peggy McNair
