Each fall it is our practice to offer water to represent our connection to each other. Bring water from your travels, your rain barrel, or a dog dish to add to the communal bowl.

On Labor Day, we celebrate the contributions of workers to the American economy. This Sunday, we will acknowledge the invisible work behind the façade of American productivity. From caregivers and agricultural workers to modern algorithm trainers and Amazon warehouse stockers, hidden labor underpins the system. People will be welcome to share stories about the invisible work that they or their families do or have done.
It’s the first Sunday potluck too, so bring a dish to share after the service.

The magick you bring to the table is a service corresponding with the Pagan harvest festival often known as Lughnasadh. It also falls on the first Sunday of the month so is a potluck service! Please bring a dish to share and be prepared to enjoy the harvest’s bounty together.
Devotion is often thought of as a formal religious act, but it doesn’t have to be. If your flavor of spiritual practice doesn’t include deities you still practice acts of devotion. Devotion is dedication or commitment to a specific purpose. Sharing food with your family, friends, and community is a spiritual act of devotion. This service is about how the sharing of food is in and of itself a spiritual practice.

The Flower Communion is a Unitarian tradition begun in Prague by Rev. Norbert Capek, who later gave his life resisting the Nazis. Bring a flower to the service, and let us behold the beauty of the bouquet that we create together, a metaphor for the community grounded in commitment to our sixth principle: the goal of a work related to peace, liberty, and justice for all. This service will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Flower Communion ceremony.
