A Season of Weird and Tenderness (Part 2)
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
Reverend Dave Clements
Reverend Emily Manvel Leite

Reverend Macklin will offer more thoughts on this season of weird and tenderness, from COVID to her recent announcement that she will conclude her ministry to the congregation in June of 2022. If you did not see Part 1 last Sunday, please view that worship service here: A Season of Weird and Tenderness (Part 1)
This Sunday’s worship service will also honor many of the rites of passages in our lives, from cradle to grave. Our Time for All Ages will include a recognition and celebration of our congregation’s graduating High School Seniors, and we will have a Social Justice Moment from our End of Life Task Force.

Church Administrator Away from Email for a Few Days
Our Church Administrator Carol Marks will be away from email June 7-9. In her absence, please contact Monica Overman or Mandy Skinner at office(at)uubloomington.org. Be alert for email scams while she is away. The last time she took vacation time, the scammers crawled out from under their slimy rocks and tried to get UUs to buy eBay gift cards!! See note below for details on this kind of scam.

Beware Email Fraud
Our ministers, staff, lay leaders, and board members will never send you email asking you for any money besides your pledge payment! This also means they will never use email to ask you to buy gift cards for them or anyone else.
