"Ebbs and Flows"
Rev. Jaimie Dingus
10:45 AM
Each year, Unitarian Universalists around the country mark the start of a new year with the ritual of Water Communion, where we remember that even though water can be a source of destruction, it can also be a source of healing and renewal. In song and silence and ritual, we will welcome in a new year, forgiving the past and embracing the possibility of the future. Please join us for our virtual service and drive-through water communion celebration in the UUCH parking lot following the service.

Drive-Through Water Communion
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Join us for the annual Water Communion Celebration! And, we will be collecting canned goods for the Little Food Pantry—please consider bringing something!
