Fire Communion: Invitation to the Burning Bowl

Jan. 7, 2024 at 11 am Rev. Stephen Robinson

As the New Year of 2024 begins, we celebrate our ritual of the Fire Communion. This ritual provides an opportunity to reflect on the year behind us, the highs and joys that we celebrate, and the low points and sorrows that we grieve. All of the experiences of a year involve heavy emotions and experiences that we carry. The fire ritual offers a chance to let them go.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Lis Turner, Member

This is a place where I can always find big smiles, warm hugs, and stimulating conversations. It is easy to get involved and quickly become part of the group.

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
