Service description:  The annual Water Communion is a sacred ritual in UU churches. It began 40 years ago as a way to provide a more meaningful spiritual experience for women. Over time it has become an opportunity to celebrate our connection to one another in community, the flow and cycle of life that water represents, and our shared Unitarian Universalist values (justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence and generosity with love at the center). Come gather with other Wildflowers in this intergenerational service and feel the power of love.

For those who join the service on Zoom, part of the ritual will be to pour some water into the 6 values receptacle(s) that congregants are most drawn to. To simplify at home, you may want to have a source of water and something to pour it into. You also may want to print out this image (link in case you need it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o0QxNm--BN5v87BTkFaVZIEIifRjlA4KWu_Orc06fkY/edit?usp=sharing)

of the UU values and place your water on the value(s) you are most drawn to.  If you are joining with others, this could be a group ritual - each person having their own bowl and opportunity to connect with the values.  Having a community bowl that each pours their water into would prepare you for the second part of the ritual.

This is an intergenerational service so there will be no classes for children and youth 5 and older. The nursery is available for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years old during the entire service period.
