This morning, we celebrated our annual Water Communion. One of the rituals we honor --- that we come to expect --- in our year together is when regather our Fellowship as Summer turns toward Fall, perhaps regathering from rest or travel, and we begin a new church year. Each of us is invited to bring a sample of water --- or use a symbolic dollop of water --- to represent experiences we bring with us as we come together. Today brought the extra touch of water from the sky, but the storm cleared in time for many of us to come and share, everything from childhood experiences to travels to the justice causes that water represents for us.
