Water Communion
It is traditional for UU congregations to celebrate a Water Communion
to mark the beginning of a new church year, and to welcome new friends
or long time friends who may have been away during the summer.
For this ritual, bring some water from home or away, and think of what
this water means to you. We will combine our water together. We might
think about Water Justice and the need for clean water and communities
in our country and the world where clean water is not easy to access.
We might reflect on the forms and phases of water, and the phases of
our lives and our community.
Amy Zucker Morgenstern, UU minister said,"We are separate and
together, the way water scatters into rain and streams and clouds and
springs and ponds and puddles and yet flows together again and again,
one great planetary ocean. Not only is no drop of water superior to
any other; all water comes from the same place."
