This will be an intergenerational, ritual based service (aka family friendly) with special music from the UUCP choir.
If you attend in person, PLEASE BRING A SMALL (less than 1/4 c) amount of water, whether gathered as part of an adventure or taken from the tap. We’ll combine our separate water into one shared vessel, making our “UU Holy Water” to use in baby dedications and other ceremonies through this coming church year.
If you plan to attend on Zoom and would like to participate in the rituals, you will need a small dish of water, an extra candle to light, a piece of paper and something to write with, and a small stone. If you want to add ‘your’ water outside of the Sunday service, you can drop it off at the church office.
Join us for a kid-friendly celebration of all the ways we answer life’s call with an enthusiastic and loving “yes!”
