Collect Water This Summer for Our Annual Water Communion Ingathering Service This Fall

Each fall as the congregational year begins again we come back together after our summer travels with an ingathering water communion service. Please collect small containers of water from your travels, events, or home adventures this summer to share with the community of Goodloe at the water communion service this fall.   A small amount of the water collected at these services is boiled, frozen and saved each year.  This water is then thawed and placed in a bowl before the water communion service so that waters added each year mix with waters gathered in prior years.  Water from our water communion service is also sometimes used in child dedication services and often given in small containers to people moving from our community. Water touches every shore and nourishes every race of people.  The element of water reminds us to dedicate our lives and thought to the good of all humankind and to our own true growing

Bowie’s Goodloe Memorial Unitarian Universalist Congregation invites you to explore our updated website. This Prince George’s County UU liberal religious congregation is honored to open its hearts and minds to worshipers from Bowie and beyond, and we welcome your presence at Goodloe.

We welcome you to this place which we love and tend with care...

We, the free and open community of the Goodloe Memorial Unitarian Universalist Congregation, join in common goals: to support each other in our spiritual journeys, to serve humanity, to celebrate diversity, to be in harmony with the universe, and to open our hearts, our minds, and our spirits to the adventure of life.

We do not inquire of our fellow worshippers what they believe, nor expect them to think as we do, only that they share a concern for truth and goodness. Those who speak here have the task of presenting religion freely, fearlessly, and faithfully. Those who listen have the responsibility of testing what they hear, not only with a critical mind, but also in the living of everyday life.

The members of this congregation welcome the support of all who believe religion is wider than any sect and deeper than any set of opinions.We welcome those who might find encouragement and strength for daily living through our worship services and through our friendship.
 
The Goodloe Congregation welcomes into its staffing,  its programs, committees and volunteer opportunites all people without regard to their ethnicity, race, or sexual orientaton. Diversity of any  brings strength to all.

Goodloe has been designated by the UUA a Welcoming Congregation.

The “Welcoming Congregation” designation is conferred upon Unitarian Universalist congregations that affirm their commitment to bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people as an official statement of the congregation’s moral obligation to serve this oppressed group. We work as partners with BGLT people toward equal rights and marriage equality. Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Community Welcome to Unitarian Universalism

Goodloe Memorial Unitarian Universalist Congregation is Named for Don Speed Smith Goodloe,

first principal of the Maryland Normal and Industrial School (now Bowie State University), from 1911-1921, and graduate of Meadville (Unitarian) Theological School in 1906 Rev. Don Speed Smith Goodloe
