Fellowship Hall
From running stream to rising cloud, from ocean depths to the skim of ice on muddy puddles, water covers the earth. It makes up most of our bodies, and is an essential component of life as we know it. Our annual water communion service is a symbolic reconstituting of our beloved community. Please bring water representing a place you visited, even if it's from no farther than your kitchen sink. This year you are also invited to bring a special pebble or shell from your travels (or your own back yard) to be used in our weekly Joys and Sorrows ritual. And don't forget to send photos of the source of your water (kitchen faucet and birdbath are as welcome as a waterfall) to revlisa@uufws.org by Friday August 25th for inclusion in the slide show. (Make sure you own the rights to display the photos you send.) After the joyous service, we'll feast together with a big potluck! Plan to stay. Speaker: Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz Worship Leader: David Bowen
