September 7: Rev Diane Diachishin, Water Ceremony. As we gather to mark the beginning of our congregational year, the Water Ceremony is one way we welcome everyone back from a summer in which the congregation’s life slows down, worship is less formal, and some travel or spend time away. We invite everyone to participate in this ritual of connection by bringing a sample of water that has meaning to you. There will also be water available for anyone who would like to participate without bringing your own water.

Keith Jordan will share his perspectives on this question and invite you to share yours.
