What you have so far is wonderful. As to your list of rituals, our fellowship has two additional ones besides Flower Communion and the In Gathering (Water Communion)
I'm not too sure of the origin of our Stone Soup Sunday, a potluck held every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We all bring ingredients to add to the soup (we usually have three pots,including a vegetarian option) and side dishes. A regular service is held, during which time the soup can cook, and a variation of the Stone Soup story is told.
Our second one has been done by non-UU congregations. I think it may have been Buddhist in origin. Paper is provided upon which we write what we wish to let go of during the coming year, then it is burned in a large bowl. We also write a letter to ourselves as to what we wish to bring in and seal it in an envelope. The letter arrives the week before the following year's Burning Bowl ritual.
Thank you for your site. I will be back after the CLF service to further read what you have. If you're presently online, come join us at http://www.livestream.com/questformeaning
