“Rest and Play”
Rev. Jaimie / Multigenerational
Sunday, 10:45 AM
Sometimes in worship, every word and sound and song builds to a central theme. And other times we wander through worship, finding meaning in different themes and moments. This Sunday we will honor the Summer Solstice, celebrate Father’s Day, learn about Juneteenth, and remember that going into the hot summer months there is good wisdom to be found in rest and in play! With so much to explore, we can all be sure to find something inspiring to take with us into the week ahead.

UUA General Assembly 2021 is nearly here! Join with thousands of UUs across the nation, to learn, grow and do the work of our association. You can find out more information and how to register at https://www.uua.org/ga/registration. This is a great year to attend GA because the online format is more accessible, plus there will be excellent programming, including the Ware Lecture keynote address, offered this year by Stacey Abrams and Desmond Meade.

Property Work/Fun Day
Saturday, June 26
10:00 AM
As we approach the return to in-person activities at the church some "sprucing up" will help to get the building ready. There are several indoor and outdoor tasks where your help is needed.
Indoor tasks will proceed regardless of the weather: replace lights and paint the corner RE classroom ceiling.
Outdoor tasks will depend on the weather: trim shrubs and do some cleanup.
For most tasks no special skills are needed, just willing hands for a couple of hours, to ensure that the building is ready for when activities resume.
Date: Saturday, June 26, 2021
Time: 10:00 am to ??
Bring: Work gloves if you have them (but some will be available if you don't have any)

Little Food Pantry
We need signups!!
Please sign up to fill the LFP. It’s odd, but folks aren’t taking lentils or black beans. The canned black beans are being donated to needy Hispanic families.
If you can’t fill a M, W, F or Sunday spot on the sign up genius, you can always drop food by on T, T or Sat. Thanks for everyone who is lending a helping hand.
