On Sunday, September 1, the Sedona Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (SUUF) will hold its annual “Water is Life” service.  Rev. Anthony Mtuaswa Johnson will resume his weekly talks, after a summer away, by exploring the sacred and essential nature of water, not just as a physical resource but as representing our connection to the Earth, each other, and the deeper currents of life.

From flowing rivers to life-sustaining rain, water reminds us of the interdependence among all living beings and the natural environment. Through readings, music, and reflection, the congregation will renew its dedication to honoring and protecting water in all its forms, as well as its commitment to safeguarding this precious element for future generations.

Members will bring and combine small containers of water from their travels this summer, here and abroad, to symbolize water’s world-wide significance and Unitarian Universalism’s respect for the spiritual common ground that underlies religious traditions around the globe, including Judeo-Christian, Buddhist, and Native American.  Unitarian Universalists believe no one religion has all the answers, but all have something to teach us.

To learn more, visit the SUUF website at https://sedonauu.org, and/or attend the upcoming Unitarian Universalist service this Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m., held at the Synagogue at 100 Meadowlark Drive, on State Route 179, next to the Sedona Fire Station.  Everyone is welcome.
