The Orcas Island Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will begin its church year this Sunday, Sept. 9, with a Water Ceremony and Ingathering.  The service takes place from 11 a.m. to noon at the West Sound Community Center, near the corner of Deer Harbor Road and Crow Valley Road.

You are invited to bring some water to add to the communal whole and tell us a story about where it comes from and/or why it matters to you. For more information, visit the OIUUF website.
