"Awakened by Song"
Memorial Day Service
Betsy Tabor, Intern Minister
9:15 AM and 11:00 AM
Music takes us deep, to a place beyond thought and reason. Music that resonates for us takes up lodging in our souls—listening, humming and singing along can move us to strong emotion or bring us a sense of comfort or peace. Familiar American camp fire songs will be our gateway to observing this Memorial Day. What is it about these old songs that awakens our dreams and longings?
Special music: Jim Sopchak
9:15 AM Service
11:00 AM Service

Church Playschool
Playschool Volunteers Needed for seven Remaining Sundays in this Faith Development Church Year
Terri Hill, one of our Playschool staff, has moved on from UUCR. She has a new, weekend job. This past Sunday was her last. We, and especially the children, will miss Terri's smile and warmth and loving arms. Our other steadfast Playschool leader, Lynne, will continue providing care to our youngest members.
Your loving arms are needed! There are seven Sundays remaining in the year and help is needed to ensure that our li'l ones are greeted into their beloved Play-space. We're hoping to get a few folks who can volunteer two weeks in a row, so that there is some continuity for the children.
Here's what's involved:
- Arrive at 8:55am to open up the space, greet parent(s)/guardian(s) and children;
- Play, comfort, enjoy the children;
- Greet parent(s)/guardian(s) upon pick up between 10:15am and 10:30am.
........ta-da! And go home smiling.
Please be in touch with your availability and willingness to be a part of this important welcoming, playful role!
Many thanks,
Anne

Welcoming Congregation
Moving Forward… Proud, Strong, United, March with Us At Boston Pride, Noon on Saturday, June 9, 2013
Sign Up to March: Time to mark your calendar for the 6th Annual UUCR walks Boston Pride on Saturday June 9 at 12 Noon
UUCR marches with Boston Gay/Lesbian/Transgendered/Bisexual Pride on Saturday, June 8 at Noon. This is our 6th year! Some marchers are planning carpools from UUCR. See the sign up sheet in the atrium to contact other marchers. The parade route kicks off at Noon.
Join us in line by Noon. Your two parade marshals for this year are the Chair of Welcoming Congregation and the best parade route runner ever: Rebecca Griffin and Rosemary Fiori. The parade route starts at Boylston St. and Clarendon St. Please click here for full details on the parade route.
For the second year in a row, our church, thanks to the efforts of the Welcoming Congregation team, will have a UUCR literature table at City Hall Plaza. Call Rebecca Griffin at 781-820-5983 if you can help lend a hand staffing during the mayhem that is post pride march. It is fun. Lots of folks will approach the table and ask what UUCR is all about. This is a fun chance to be an emissary for our wonderful church.
The Boston Pride Parade is a march to celebrate and promote equal rights for the region’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities and is the staple event of Pride Week. As one of the most popular and scenic gay pride marches in the country, organizations and individuals from around New England will walk together to advocate for inclusivity, equality and respect. The theme of the Boston Pride Parade this year is "Moving Forward… Proud, Strong, United"
