Everyone is invited to bring water from a place that is meaningful to them in their life to share in this service. We remember that these gifts of water are reflective of who we are, of our connection and dependence on water for life. In the service as we pour our waters together, we remember how the sharing of our lives in community creates depth and meaning.

In the past church year, Linda Pickle and Daniel Reed led an Adult RE course called “Spirit in Practice.” The course consisted of ten one-hour introductions to various forms of/approaches to practicing spirituality. This service is a small survey of the course as experienced by several students and the facilitators. It offers the congregation insights into practicing spirituality alone and with others. Led by Linda Pickle and Daniel Reed.

When we lose people through death, or experience decline or setbacks in our own lives, it’s hard. It sets us on a path with vulnerability and surprise emotions. And while it can feel so lonely to go through loss, it’s one of the most common human experiences. Today’s sermon draws from Five True Things by Buddhist writer and psychotherapist David Richo. Led by Rev. Dr. Roger Jones.
