September 11, 2016: From One, Many

Read the Order of Service.

Our annual Balloon Sunday is a celebration of another way we live community — each of the dozens of balloons adorning the sanctuary is filled with the same “breath,” yet each remains unique unto itself.  When we release them to fly to the sanctuary ceiling we remind ourselves that we, too, return to our own lives after being together, yet are in-spired by the caring community we create week after week, day after day, year after year.

[Note:  this is a truly multigenerational service, and the last of our single services (still at 10:00).]

Worship Theme for September:  What does it mean to be a community of covenant?
At the core of our Unitarian Universalist faith tradition is the concept of “covenant” – the promises we make to one another to offer encouragement, comfort … and challenge, too, when it’s called for.  We make these promises to one another in community, to ourselves in integrity, and to the “spirit of life” in our interconnectedness to all that is.  This month we will be exploring the meaning of covenant in both our individual and collective lives.
