In lieu of a sermon, we will
perform some of our favorite musical selections from our past performances.
Music has the magical quality of transcending cultural and political
borders, and for some is a magnet that draws them to church, opening
the door to a spiritual community. We will also perform a ceremony
acknowledging the recently donated hymnals. Your support is greatly
appreciated.

Our annual congregational
meeting held the previous week is a testament to our principle
of democracy. Spirituality is about the growth from a narrow self
to ever-larger community, but there’s also, as within a democracy
an imperative not to lose the self entirely. How do we accommodate
those conflicting goals?

The
coincidence of Summer Solstice and Fathers’ Day occurring
on the same day will be the subject of John Cooper’s talk
on June 21st. Is the Summer Solstice to celebrate the longest day
or the shortest night? John will talk about seasons, fatherhood
and what they connect to in our historical agrarian culture.

Today I will have just returned
from a week of General Assembly, the annual gathering of Unitarian
Universalists for worship, fellowship, visioning, learning, taking
up social justice causes, and conducting the business of the Association.
I’ll give you a report on what seems to be inspiring our faith
in June of 2009.
