Ingathering and Water Communion

Reverend Nancy McDonald Ladd

Water Communion Service. We’ll also celebrate the dedication of Jackson Cooper.

The pace of our church life tends to move from Fall to Fall rather than shift upon the turning of the New Year. Here we stand at the beginning of another fall together. We’ll have our annual ingathering and water communion service. Don’t forget to bring water with you as a symbol of your interconnection to the BRUU community.

Inclement Weather Policy

Parked cars covered in thick ice.

In case of bad weather, floods, plagues of locusts, etc., the buildings at BRUU might be closed. Events scheduled for the buildings, or in other locations, might be canceled.

If Prince William County schools are closed, then there is a strong possibility that BRUU events will be canceled as well.

Sunday Services

It is always our intention at BRUU to have services every Sunday, but it is important for all of us to consider our own safety in regard to travel conditions during inclement weather. The President, in consultation with the chair of the Worship Committee, the minister, and others as appropriate, will make the decision whether to cancel Sunday services no later than 8:00 AM Sunday morning. Ideally, the decision will be distributed by 10:00 PM on Saturday night, so everyone can arrange schedules accordingly.

Information about event cancellation and closing BRUU buildings will be distributed using several means.

Weekday Activities

The leader for any small group meeting (on any day of the week, including Sunday afternoon) is responsible for determining whether the meeting should be canceled. People planning to attend the meeting should call the point of contact, as listed on the online calendar, to determine whether the meeting will be canceled.
