September 19, 2021- When the Waters are Held Back

Gathering in person at Minnehaha Falls, we immerse ourselves in the imagery of water and the power of the river as we remember the strength of the stones in the banks we build, and the well-worn groove of the river bed that waits for us, whatever the season. We remember the ritual of Water Communion and the symbolic ingathering it represents and we will intentionally hold back the waters for now, waiting with each other, for the fullness of our hoped-for return to our building in November and the joy it will bring. Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout, Aimee K. Bryant, Franco Holder, Lauren Wyeth, and Revs. Arif Mamdani and Jen Crow lead the service. Words of Welcome- Rev. Jen Crow (:29) Song- Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout and Aimee K. Bryant (7:10) Time for All Ages- Aimee K. Bryant (9:47) Body and Community Prayer- Lauren Wyeth and Rev. Arif Mamdani (15:40) Message- Rev.
