AUGUST

August 30: "Unitarian Universalist Heritage"
Worship Leader: Karen Ethier-Waring
Reflectors: Julie Smith and Nick Evento
In America, the Universalist Church of America was founded in 1793, and the American Unitarian Association (AUA) in 1825. After consolidating in 1961, these faiths became the new religion of Unitarian Universalism through the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).
With roots in early New England UU history and a 50-year membership at All Souls, Julie Smith and Nick Evento are uniquely prepared to shine light on our denominational and congregational history. Join us for a deeper dive into Unitarian Universalist history through personal stories, research, and song. It wasn’t always pretty but knowing our history empowers us to move forward with grace and courage.
Summer fun and games for the kids during the service!

September 13: Water Communion: "The Tide is Rising"
Multigenerational Service
We will begin our congregational year in joy with our annual Water Communion. The Water Communion symbolizes the merging of our diverse experiences and selves into a unified community with water. Bring your water and share in one word what you will bring to our community this year as we merge our waters together in a communal bowl.
It is also the annual Pies for Peace. This event has carried forward the spirit of healing and generosity through homemade pies and freewill offerings. All donations for this year's event will go to Fresh New London.

September 27: "Just Take the First Step"
It has been said that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was known to say, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” As we seek justice in these times, how and why should we keep going even though the path is not clear? Maybe that’s where faith comes into play. Come, let us ponder this together.
