Worship: "Roads Rising, Wind at Your Back..."

May the road rise to meet you...
            May the wind be at your back...
                     May the sun shine warm upon your face...

As school season rolls around again, some congregations hold rituals like the Blessing of the Backpacks.  We at UUSGS love this idea!  ...only not everyone is a student or a parent or a teacher heading off to school.  

No worries!  We're convening a ritual to celebrate every journey.  However this moment meets you - wherever you are on your life's journey - find your footing and be encouraged!  Go forth with faith and hope... and with the support of those with whom we may yet create the Beloved Community.

"We see you.  We love you.  We're here for you."  Amen!
