Whether we measure it by the meteorological calendar or the astronomical, there’s no denying that fall has arrived.  Our FUUSM community marked the beginning of a new church year, as well, with our annual ingathering service and water communion.  From many places, many streams, we brought our containers of water, combining in one bowl this symbol of our ongoing life together.  Then we added the water to our memorial garden, honoring our past and adding promise to our future.
