September 2026 Sunday Services
Sunday September 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Gail DeVilbiss will lead this in-person service, titled ‘We Rise Together, We Thrive Together.’ DeVilbiss will present a service on Labor Day. We will explore the idea that ‘No One is Self made’. We will honor the work of our hands, the wisdom of our hearts, and the Community that carries us all. Visitors are welcome. Please join us for coffee, snacks and conversation downstairs following the service.
Sunday September 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Gail DeVilbiss and Julie Boles will lead our annual in-person Water Communion service. This service marks the end of summer, when friends and members return from their summer travels. It includes the Mingling of the Waters ritual, also called Water Ceremony or Water Communion, a UU way to witness both to the elements and to the spiritual quality of life. Please bring water from a special place, in your travels or nearby, to symbolically join with others of our Fellowship and our previous water ceremonies. A pitcher of water will also be available to symbolically share. Visitors are welcome to the service, and after the service, please join us downstairs for coffee, snacks and conversation.
Sunday September 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Diane Schwitz will lead this in-person service with the theme of “Where Were You on 9/11?” with a time for sharing. Visitors are welcome.
At MTVUUF we value each individual’s spiritual journey, and believe there is no one right way to lead a religious and spiritual life. We welcome all who find in these friendships strength and encouragement for daily living.

Open readings can be some of our most meaningful services, reflecting the diversity of our Fellowship. Visitors are welcome. For Zoom information please email information@mtvernonuuf.org.
