You are invited to picnic in our Memorial Garden after the Memorial Day weekend worship service on May 29^th. Please bring your own picnic lunch and chairs to sit in, as we gather around the brick amphitheater to enjoy each other’s company and remember those who have gone before. Coffee will be provided in the garden, as well as a couple of tables to keep the food off the ground. There will not be a rain date if we are rained out.

We would like to ask for help in a general clean up of the Garden and Woodlands on Friday, May 27 at 2:00 pm. We also need to set up tables in the garden prior to the service on Sunday so please arrive early if you can help. If there is rain on Friday, we will have to make do on Sunday.

The National Music Festival will be using UUCR for piano and voice rehearsals and two concerts during this year's event from June 5 - 18. During this time period, the UUCR building will be unavailable for meetings not previously scheduled. We have blocked out time for the meditation group that meets on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings (in the sanctuary) and the Women's Group on Wednesday, June 15 (moved to lounge) so they can continue their meetings.

Please consider leading a Summer Discussion and sign up on the sheet provided on the whiteboard. There are still many open dates that need to be filled. These are informal get-togethers and a great time to share and explore your interest in a topic with others.

The Summer Session Discussions will not be available through Zoom.
