As we celebrate the start of a new fellowship year, on this “In-Gathering” Sunday we remember stories of invitation and belonging, in our personal lives and in this community of liberal faith: stories from our past, stories present today, and new stories of looking ahead. In the annual water ceremony as part of this In-Gathering, let us re-unite body and spirit by sharing waters which symbolize past, present, and future. Bring your own waters to add to the common bowl. This is a multi-generational service: the children will remain in the sanctuary the entire worship time.
