<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The elements, earth, water, fire, and air, possess transcendent qualities. Join us in worship as we explore the spiritual dimension to be found in our experiences with water. We will share personal reflections and close with a meditative soundscape.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">with Worship Associate Rev. Dr. Wakoh Shannon Hickey, Cantor Rachel Walters Steiner, the <em>Larking About Choir</em>, and pianist Gary Rossi.</p>

Which leads us to ask: how did we decide on these values in the first place? Please bring water and stones you have collected on your journeys to share with the community.</p>
