 (11am) "Water Ceremony: Ingathering Service"   Worship Leader: Rev. Kathryn Hawbaker

The Water Ceremony has a history as a ritual that acknowledges different images of the divine and the ways we gather as a spiritual community. Come celebrate our common humanity as we gather our waters and resources for building our beloved community. Everyone is invited to bring a sample of water, from your life’s journey or from a favorite watering hole, to pour into the common bowl as we look forward to our program year.



FUUSM Order of Service – Sept. 12, 2021  

Our mission is to nurture a diverse community

devoted to spiritual growth and freedom of thought for the benefit of all.



You’re invited to gather in the courtyard, & pour a sample of water into the communal bowl,

with words of wisdom & hope, joy or concern.
