Worship will be followed by some light refreshments. If you are interested in helping to lead service, sharing a reflection or playing some music for a service, please be in touch with Pastor Stacy.

UCW-GBIO House Meeting
Last chance coming up on Sunday!
The last house meeting will happen right after church on Sunday, June 17 (Father's Day), 11:30-12:30 p.m., Mark Smith presiding.
Please come if you can!
This spring we've had six congregational "house meetings," a new kind of forum for UCW in which small groups of people share their defining stories and concerns. The conversations have been rich and engaging, and a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other at a deeper level. They will have the added benefit of helping to shape GBIO's advocacy agenda. (Go here for an updated calendar of GBIO meetings and actions.)

The Call for Moral Action continues
The campaign unveiled a Declaration of Fundamental Rights and Poor People's Campaign Moral Agenda* that will guide the movement through its upcoming 40 days of nonviolent direct action and beyond. The 40 days included a rally and direct action.
This campaign is an invitation to us to come along side and learn from those who are suffering from poverty and the issues that perpetuate poverty by attending the rallies with a listening, "companioning" heart.
The campaign culminates with a rally and action in Washington D.C. on Saturday, June 23rd. Buses will be going from Boston. To learn more about transportation please go

Union Church at Moral Revival Poor People's Campaign at the
State House in Boston.

Pastor Stacy Swain gave the
invocation for the rally on June 11.
"Fifty years after Rev. Dr. King and the 1968 Poor People's Campaign declared that silence was betrayal, we are coming together to break the silence and tell the truth about the interlocking evils of systemic racism, poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy and our distorted moral narrative," the Moral Agenda reads. "We declare that if silence was betrayal in 1968, revival is necessary today."

Thanks for a Wonderful Year!
This Sunday and Next Sunday - Childcare during Worship
What a wonderful year of Sunday School we had! Thank you to all the teachers, parents, kids and UCW members who made it such a joy-and-faith-filled experience for all. While our formal Sunday School is now on break for the summer, this Sunday and next there will be supervised childcare for all ages (including play and crafts in the Vestry and on the playgrounds). Lisa, our professional nursery staff-person, will also be in the nursery for our littlest members (infants and toddlers).
Youth Service Afternoon -
Thursday, June 21, from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.: Cookies and Connections
Middle and High Schoolers are invited to celebrate the last week of school together, baking cookies and having fun. We'll then divide into groups and bring cookies to some of the elders and others in our community who might enjoy a visit and a treat. For more about this event and how you can participate or help, please contact Susan Hunt Stevens or Pastor Amy (amy@ucw.org).
