Sunday, September 25th, 2022:
This morning, we wrapped up our month of focus on Belonging with our Water Communion, an annual ritual expressing the gathering of our Fellowship community. Members and friends brought samples of water to add to a communal bowl, water that came from or represented significant places or experiences. The mixing of the water symbolizes how our various gifts come together, and every year, we save part of the water for the ritual in years to come. All the waters that were added over the years remain with us. Everything we contributed together today and everything offered by beloved members and friends in the past remains and helps to build our community of belonging.
Next Sunday, October 2nd:
