Weaving Waters
Embodied, engaging, multi-gen worship service focusing on a parable of interdependence and unity. Waters cascade together, while maintaining their individual sources, combining to bring nutrients, gifts, and give life to something much larger. A story of interweaving while also affirming one’s essence and culture; It is a story central to Unitarian Universalism, then and now.
Special Note: For this worship, you will be asked to interact, or imagine interacting, with sand, salt, stone, seeds, and vessels for pouring water. You may want to have those nearby before you settle in for service.
