The Time for All Ages story in worship this Sunday is Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag by Rob Sanders, illustrated by Steven Salerno.
Religious Education (RE) classes have finished for the year. The RE Council and I share our deep gratitude for everyone who supported RE, especially the teachers, youth advisors, and our social justice partners who navigated the online format and beautifully nurtured community. The RE Council is now busy at work preparing for 2021-2022 RE. Stay tuned for updates! Families and volunteers, please keep an eye out for a survey in the coming weeks. Your input is needed as we continue planning. If you already know you would like to volunteer in RE next year, Tracy (cuucwptracy@gmail.com) would be delighted to hear from you!

The intersection of personal and social justice is embodied by the struggles of the LGBTQ community. In keeping with the spirit of Pride Month, this Sunday's solo piano selections highlight the work of gay composers from a wide range of time periods and cultural bac kgrounds. The CUUC Choir graces our service as well with the Calypso-style hymn “Turn the World Around” and the tender “Ashoken Farewell,” offered as a sort of leave-taking for the summer respite. ..

June Share the Plate: Interfaith Council for New Americans of Westchester
This month we donate half our non-pledge collection to the Interfaith Council for New Americans of Westchester (ICNAW), a coalition of local congregations that welcomes refugees resettled into our area. ICNAW has provided financial and logistical support to three resettled families locally and hopes to welcome a fourth family this year. It is critical that all Afghans who worked for the US be granted their Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) and be allowed to enter the US before the military withdraws by Sep 11. Learn more about the issue in this NBC New York report, or contact Robin Rocchi (robinandal@verizon.net) or Jane Dixon (lilrhodie@gmail.com). Mail checks to CUUC with the memo "Share the Plate - Refugees" or click here to pay online, and select "Share the Plate."
