September 11 Service at 10:30 AM at the Church and on Zoom
Carol Strecker, Interim Minister
If you are a drop of water, then you will evaporate halfway;
but if you go as a river, you will surely reach the ocean.
Thich Nhat Hanh
The Water Ceremony celebrates our connections with one another and with the Earth. We return to our beloved sanctuary in the woods on September 11th, bringing water from many sources that speak to us of those connections. Water symbolizes the power of community as drops gather to form rivulets that meet and merge to form mighty rivers flowing together to the sea. Bring a little water that has special meaning for you to pour into a common bowl.
You can also send a picture of a watery place to Gary Nelson at ammodytes2000@yahoo.com. Gary has graciously agreed to create a slideshow of those places that quench our thirsty souls for our service.
This service will include special music provided by the NSUU Singing Group under the direction of Georgia Bills, our new Music Director.
In the interest of protecting the most vulnerable among us, we ask that you wear a mask inside the building.
The Board invites everyone to join us after the service
for coffee and ice cream treats as we kick off this new church year.
Feel free to bring a bag lunch as well!
