"Ingathering/Water Communion
We'll hold our traditional Ingathering Water Ceremony in some kind of way, either on Zoom, or possibly in our Sanctuary - instructions will be emailed closer to the event date. But SAVE A BIT OF WATER, that in some way symbolizes what you bring to this coming church year. See you soon!

ALSO - It's the return of Religious Education Sunday! We invite families with children and teens to join us at Pine Hill Park at 1pm (we'll meet in the parking lot, near the Giorgetti building) where we will lead outdoor activities from the UUA curriculum "Circle of Trees".

“Sound Bath: A Chakra Tune-Up Session with Crystal Singing Bowls”
Crystal Singing Bowls are used with Yoga, sound healing, space clearing, Chakra Tune-Ups and to signify the beginning and end of meditation. Studies have shown that sound has a direct impact on mental processes and physical homeostasis (muscles, nervous system, heartbeat, etc.). The notes of the Crystal Singing Bowls correspond with each of the major Chakras. Chakras can be understood as the energy centers of the body. Each energy center has unique aspects and corresponds with specific tones of the musical scale. Keeping these centers in balance results in maintaining harmony within ourselves as energy beings. Each persons experience when listening to the bowls is quite singular.

Sept. 26th: Nancy Weis -
“Being the Butterfly”
We all know about the butterfly principle - that a tiny flapping of wings can affect the formation of a hurricane in another continent. If that is so, perhaps our purposeful flapping of ideas and actions can affect the world. So, what makes us think we can flap effectively?
