Sunday, September 4, 2022: Interactive Sunday Service
Time: 11 AM - noon
Hybrid: Sanctuary / Zoom
Theme: Join us for a Water Communion
We all come from water: as a species on a planet where life began in the ocean, as mammals who float in amniotic fluid as we are readied for birth, as beings whose cells are mostly water.
And yet we are separate from each other, and we have been apart–since there tends to be a slowing-down, a different rhythm in the summer months–and now we are reuniting.
We are separate and together, the way water scatters into rain and streams and clouds and springs and ponds and puddles and yet flows together again and again, one great planetary ocean.
This Sunday bring water to pour into a common bowl that symbolizes how water keeps you connected to family, friends, and the congregation. We’ll have a pitcher of water for those that need it.
Keep your story short and focused on connection. For example, “This water represents the lemonade from a multi-generational gathering I attended this summer.” Or, “This water represents the water we drank at lunch in the breezeway during the summer months here at GNUUC.” Or “ This water symbolizes the rain water that I collected to water my garden during the hot summer months.”
You can also focus on our anticipated reconnection this fall. For example, “This water represents the water in the water bottles we’ll drink while walking on the AIDS Walk in October.”
We’re looking forward to sharing!
This hybrid service will be in the Sanctuary at Greater Nashville UU Congregation, as well as on Zoom. See How to Join a Virtual Service at GNUUC.

After the service, join us for a potluck lunch.
During the summer months, children can play in the wiggle room during the service. It is connected to the Sanctuary. Some Sundays we may have activities outdoors in the playground or in the Religious Education Building, depending on staff present.
