As the summer season comes to a close we gather as a church community with renewed commitment to what we value most. Whether we travel or stay close to home, summer usually offers a change of pace, inviting time for renewal and reflection. Perhaps you took a dip in a pool, played in the waves, floated on a river, or sipped from a tall glass of ice water. This Sunday you are invited to bring a small sample of water to represent a memorable moment from your summer experience. As we blend the waters of our separate journeys, you are invited to share in a sentence or two the significance of the water you bring.
