Water Communion

Sept. 8, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Rev. Stephen Robinson

UUs have been celebrating Water Communions since 1980. It has been a longstanding tradition at UUCC. This Communion is also known as a Water Ceremony or In-gathering and is the way we begin the new church year. We ask that you bring in a small amount of water that represents some place that is special to you. As you pour your water into the communal bowl, you may state what this water represents to you. The combined water is a symbol of our shared faith and community.

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.

Lis Turner, Member

This is a place where I can always find big smiles, warm hugs, and stimulating conversations. It is easy to get involved and quickly become part of the group.

Carita Barr, Member

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.
