Sunday morning, we came together for our annual Water Communion. Members and friends brought water from places distant and exciting, places near and dear, and from all sorts of other places --- one member even (symbolically) brought the sweat of her brow from this past hot summer. In our annual tradition, we brought all these waters together to mingle with the water we've kept from previous Water Communions, adding another year's gifts to this symbol of our Fellowship's history.
Today's service was also a collaborative effort, so many thanks to everyone who contributed their work behind the scenes and their talents. And thank you to everyone who was there today and made the service what it was.
Next Sunday, September 20th:

Message: "Spirit of Place," Rev. Mike Adamek
This is a sermon about the room in which we meet. We meet here always on Sunday morning and often other days and times. What is the ambience of this room? What is the mood created by this environment? What do I perceive it to be and what do you want it to be?
