Some burdens are heavier than others. Some obvious and others hidden. Some people carry tears and frustration just below the surface. Others carry worry and love in pockets close to their hearts. Some carry protest signs and others carry potluck dishes. Children carry backpacks ready for a new year of learning with joy, anticipation, or fear.
Whatever you are carrying, whoever you are carrying, you deserve the space to lay that burden down now and then...
and pick up a little joy.
JOIN US AS WE GATHER IN ALL THE LOVE WE CAN HOLD,
THEN LET'S CARRY IT OUT INTO THE WORLD!

Ingathering Sunday: What Are You Carrying?
Rev. Virginia, Michelle and All
In this service for all ages we bring in the waters of our lives that represent joy, grief, struggle and healing, and the children and youth will participate in a Blessing of the Backpacks for a new year of learning and adventure. We will take part in an activity to send love and hope to those suffering from the effects of hurricanes, fires and floods. Together we will carefully choose how to carry love out this year.
Music by Louise Chernosky, The UU Singers
