The Quaker theologian William Barclay wrote, “The scriptures are a testimony to the fountain, not the fountain itself.” This Sunday we will have our annual water communion ritual. You are invited to bring water from someplace special you have spent time over the summer whether on vacation or staycation. The water may be from a fountain, creek, river, lake, ocean or a garden hose, lawn sprinkler, rain gauge or kitchen sink. Together we will ponder the Source of Life from which all blessings flow.
