Water Journeys
The Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
The Reverend Douglas Wadkins
The Reverend Emily Manvel Leite
Our annual water communion is Sunday. This year, we will explore stories and symbolism of boats during our time together. Everyone is invited to bring water, a stone, or a shell to symbolize your journey over the summer, whether you traveled the globe or our local spaces. Let us celebrate being together again! Our children's choir, directed by Jill Courtney, will be singing.
