COMING SUNDAYS - 11 a.m. WORSHIP SERVICES May 11, "It Takes an Ohana," David Pyle, Ministerial Intern - Never before has the idea of family in common culture been as narrowly defined as it is today, especially by some of the more conservative religions. Yet, if we really want to think about family and “ole time religion”, family is not so narrowly defined. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let us think about what family means to us of liberal faith. May 11, 5 p.m. - Birth Mother’s Service - In this special Mother’s Day service, we will honor and remember all the forms that motherhood takes and touches all of our lives, through readings, music, and community. This service is for women and men, as the loss of a child, adoption, miscarriage, distant relationships, divorce, abortion, and separation touches us all. This meditative service is a chance to touch our feelings of both joy and sorrow around motherhood, and to rest in the community we share. If you have questions or would like to participate, please contact David Pyle. May 18 - Oh, What a Year It Has Been! On this day of the Annual Congregational Meeting, Rev. Pescan will lead us in a retrospective of the last nine months and invite us to look ahead. May 25 - “The Soldier and the Preacher Talk About War” will be a dialogue between Ministerial Intern and Army Chaplain Candidate David Pyle, and Rev. Barbara Pescan, part of their ongoing conversation about war. June 1 - “Gratitude and Celebration” Bring a flower for the Flower Festival and meet the staff to help the Committee on Ministry appreciate all they have done for UCE this year. For the Flower Festival we each bring a flower to make a bouquet of our many colors and shapes and splendors. We get to celebrate our Interim Minister, Rev. Nancy Shaffer, too. It has been such a very good year. June 8 -
“Bon Voyage Into Summer” This intergenerational service precedes the church picnic. Singing, wishes for us all as we go off making beauty and peace and love in all the parts of the world we will see this summer --- from your back yard to the far corners of the world. We will also thank David Pyle for being our Ministerial Intern and observe his on-the-spot transmogrification from intern to Summer Minister. The whole shebang ends with the Annual Church Potluck Picnic. WORSHIP REMINDERS Please turn off cell phones and pagers in the sanctuary. Turn off the world, and enjoy the service!
