SUMMARY:Troublin’ the Water (BLUU Homecoming Service)
DESCRIPTION:During the first worship service of September\, as UU’s\, we celebrate the beginning of a new “Church Year\, ” known as Homecoming or Ingathering.  It is a time to reconnect with our community of Beloveds. It is a time to reach out to  those we have lost contact with and check on them and extend invitations to return “home”. In September\, we also focus on our connection to our ancestors. In many of our traditions\, the fall is a time when the “veil” between our reality and the “unseen” world thins. This thinning of the “veil” allows us increased access to our ancestors. \nLiturgically\, September is also a period of transition where we acknowledge the realities of our death and re-birth in the African Diaspora through the horrors of Colonialism and the Middle Passage . In September we honor the element of water for its entangled significance to our story of faith\, culture\, wisdom\, and thriving. We do this through our unique approach to Water Communion. \nBring Materials to Virtual Worship (Optional):\nFor our BLUU Water Communion we invite all attendees to bring with them or gather materials to participate in our water communion ritual.  Materials: 2 clean vessels. One of the vessels should have drinkable water in it. The other should be empty. The vessels should be good for pouring from one to the other.
