The water communion is a special UU service. Members bring a small amount of water from a place that is special to them. Duringthe service, people one by one pour their water together into a large bowl. 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 including over ten years at our Fellowship. We’ll keep some for next year and the rest is returned to the earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
