Sunday, June 17       Uplifting Kindness

Led by The Rev. Melissa Carvill-Ziemer and Worship Associate Trish McLoughlin –

After an unremarkable 25 years in parish ministry, Joseph Tuckerman took up what he called a ministry-at-large in Boston in 1826. Thus Tuckerman became one of the very first Unitarian community ministers as well as a pioneer in American social work. This morning we will explore the theological ideals that lay at the heart of Tuckerman’s ministry and consider their relevance for our own morally complex times.

 

Summer RE Begins on Sunday, June 17
Our theme for this summer, is “Stories that Inspire”.   During the months of June and August, we will be offering an all-ages, story-based program at 11:15 in Fessenden Hall.  During the month of July, we will be holding only one service at 10:30 and will offer RE at that time.  Nursery care will be available during all of the worship services.  There will be no Time for All Ages during the worship services over the summer.  This Sunday’s story is “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak.

Your cooperation is needed!  Our sessions will start at 11:15 sharp, so we ask that folks vacate Fesenden Hall so the session can begin.  (The summer heat prevents us from meeting in the classrooms on the upper level of the church.) Thanks!

 

Coming of Age Faith Statements

Several copies of the booklet that contains all the Faith Statements presented by our Coming of Age youth on June 3rd are available on the table in the foyer.  Feel free to take a copy and enjoy the insightful and inspiring ideas from our youth.

As the Library committee continues to search for a permanent Chair, a temporary Co-Chair position was created in order to give Martha some much needed personal time. Ann Waters has agreed to be Co-Chair. She will prepare the monthly meeting agenda and chair the meetings in addition to her regular publicity duties. Martha will continue to order books, write book reviews, monitor the website, manage the account and attend any church board meetings. The entire committee will be working to interest new members in the work of the Library. Please consider attending one of the dynamic committee Library meetings. The next meeting is August 6th at 12:30 P.M. in Fessenden Hall.
