WATER COMMUNION
Our congregation's Water Communion is Sunday, September 13th. We are sad that we won't be able to gather in person, but we are going to use all of our virtual tools to have us share this time as a community anyways.
We want to see you! Please send us a picture or a video of you and your family that we can include in our service--we'd love to see your faces! Whether you've been with UUCP for years, or weeks or have been just checking us out online, please feel free to participate!
E-mail your picture or short video (20 seconds or less) to minister@phoenixuu.org by the end of the day Monday, September 7th. Here are three ways you can participate--choose whichever one works for you!
-
Bring Your Water to UUCP. There are vases on the front steps of the UUCP entrance. Take a picture of yourself as you bring your water and put them in the vases. Please bring enough water to account for evaporation. We will use your water in the ritual--so that our waters can still mingle, even if you can't. Here's my video as an example.
-
Picture/Video of You With Water. It may be in a pool, or a river, or drinking water, or watering your plants--anything works. Take a picture or video of you interacting with that water.
-
Picture/Video of You. Don't want to or can't do either of the above? That's fine, just send us a picture or video of you so we can see your smiling face.
Again, please send your picture or video to minister@phoenixuu.org by the end of the day Monday, Sept 7th. That's 4 days from now.
VOTE TO ORDAIN ANTHONY JOHNSON
Following the Water Communion Service on Sunday, Sept 13th, all members of record are invited for an important congregational vote--to ordain Anthony Johnson as a Unitarian Universalist minister.
In the UU faith, ordaining a minister is a sacred rite and responsibility of congregations. Anthony has asked for us and the Humboldt UU Congregation to jointly ordain him on Saturday, October 24th. Following the vote, we will have more details about the ordination--it will be a great joy for all of us!
Please know that you are in my prayers and I am sending energy to you and your loved ones during this very difficult time. We need each other during times of political, racial and health crisis. I am so grateful for all of you and the community we have here at UUCP,
Rev. Christine Dance
