June 2 - Flower Communion and Community Picnic -
We close our church year with a reflection on the past year - on the gifts that are so generously offered for our work together, and on the promise of the summer months which lie ahead. Bring a blossom from your garden or corner store to share as we celebrate the strength that comes from a diversity of perspectives and experiences.

UCH Garden "Work Party”
9:00 a.m. • Saturday, June 1
st
The cool and very wet spring weather has been very good to dandelions, thistles and other weeds. Now it is our turn to help the Peonies and the many other "plant people” in the UCH gardens.
Don your work gloves and bring your favorite weeding tool/s and let's go at it!
Starting at 9:00 a.m.tomorrow, June 1st for an hour or for whatever amount of time you wish. By so doing, we also will timely spruce things up for the UCH picnic scheduled to take place outdoors at UCH on Sunday, June 2nd. So very much can be noticeably and very satisfyingly done in just one hour, especially in these conditions.
Focus on your zone or see me as to guidance as to where to work if you are not already a devoted UCH garden volunteer.
I look forward to seeing and working with you.
Charlie Fischer
Coordinator of UCH Garden Volunteers

Thursday June 6th at Wilder Park
This vigil commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in New York. These demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid in June of 1969 are seen as the catalyst for the start of the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States.
Love Lives Here will celebrate and support our LGBTQ community with music, presentations and GLOWSTICKS. There will be supportive community organizations as well.
Rock star Cathy Richardson will provide the music. Director of Human Rights for the State of Illinois, Jim Bennett, is our featured speaker. We'll have reflections from some of our neighbors.
Come celebrate with us!
