Coloring Blessings

Colorful Blessings
The first day of autumn began this week along with the Jewish New year 5775 with a new moon.

Questions to Ponder with your family and friends:

1. What rituals do U,U do at the beginning 
of a new school year, season…? Draw a picture of that ritual or share a story about it with someone who doesn't know about it.

2. What have you done this year that makes you feel like your heart is singing!!! What have you done that has made other hearts hurt? How do you say you are sorry?

3. At this shift in season, where do you find the beautiful colors of nature and what animals do you see.

UU Water Communion/Ceremony



In this season of changes in daily patterns for many, 
let the water bring us together in beloved community.

Questions to ponder with your family and friends:

1. Where did you COLLECT water from during the season of summer? (This might be actual water or a memory of water you have saved).

2. What ACT(s) of justice are you doing so that clean water is available to all on this interdependent web we share called home.

3. SING a song about WATER.
