Water Communion, September 8

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Hot Springs, 100 Norwalk St, welcomes you this Sunday at 10:30, as president, Carol Stanfill, leads us in our traditional Ingathering Water Ceremony.

Members bring to the service a small amount of water from a place that is special to them. During the appointed time in the service, people one by one pour their water together into a single container. As the water is added, the person who brought it tells why this water is special to them. The combined water is symbolic of our shared faith coming from many different sources. The Water Ceremony/ Communion Service is an excellent opportunity for Unitarian Universalist congregations to express their commitment to our Sixth Principle: We covenant to affirm and promote the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. (10:30)

Given the current environment, it seems most appropriate to rededicate ourselves to this important principle of our faith.

The Wisdom Seekers book group meet with a new book, “The Almost Church Revitalized,” by Michael Durall and Bonnie Mettler (9:00)
