September 5 - Jane Elkin: A Water Communion
Participants are asked to bring water in a small container from their recent travels: from a glacier, a sea or from the garden hose. We will combine the water in a vessel as we share our words and stories. The choral music of activist Carolyn McDade, a creator of the water service in the 1970s, will accompany the service.

September 19 - Rev. Kathy Duhon: Forgiveness This Day: Peace on Tuesday
Forgiveness is important every day, and yet religions find a need to set aside special times to emphasize forgiveness, such as the just completed High Holy Days of Judaism. Forgiveness is a foundation of peace, and this Tuesday is the International Day of Peace. Come join us this Sunday for forgiveness and peace.
A Potluck following the service will precede Sara Mackey's Welcoming Congregation Workshop.
September 26 - Shirley Kinney: Banned Book Week and Life After Death
