September 13 — The Sea Doesn’t Care Which River You Came From
This Sunday we gather the water of our lives, some carried to Elbow Lake at our annual retreat, some brought to our in-person location in Kingston, and some poured by hands far away from our two in-person locations and offered through a screen. It's our annual Water Communion, and this year it falls on a fitting note: a congregation worshipping in three places at once, joining one bowl anyway. We'll reflect on what it means to belong to something without needing to be in the same room to belong to it, how a river doesn't stop being water just because it hasn't reached the sea yet, and how the sea has never once asked a river for its papers before taking it in. Bring a small amount of water meaningful to you, from wherever you are, to add to our shared vessel and this annual UU communion ritual.
(Rev. Beckett Coppola Speaking)

Important Info
We will meet in the gym at Lord Strathcona Public School. You can’t miss it as you enter the front doors.
