Gathering the Waters

Plan to join us for our annual Water Ceremony as well as a Blessing of the Backpacks ritual. UUCC’s new interim minister, Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper, will lead us in worship.

The water ceremony is an end-of-the-summer tradition in many Unitarian Universalist congregations as we prepare for the beginning of the new church year. All ages are included in this multigenerational ritual honoring journeys of the mind, body, and heart. Bring a little bit of water with you, or we’ll have enough to share.

The backpack blessing is a beginning-of-the-school-year tradition. We’ll be blessing backpacks, messenger bags, briefcases – or even your slippers if you work remotely!

Speakers - Becky Reese, Betsy Osterman, Kelli Danaker, Michael Adcock and the Rev. Lisa Bovee Kemper
