Want to talk about what matters to you about racism?  Want to hear what others have to say?  We’ll use a listening process that lets us know we’ve been understood.  We’ll give and receive attention to what concerns us, confuses us, makes sense to us, and share personal experiences.   Our goal is to develop compassion for ourselves and each other as we experience what it’s like to talk about laments and regrets, as well as aspirations, intentions and accomplishments.  By doing so, we can become better allies in our pursuit of racial equity and justice.  We’ll forge bonds.

Carol will share with us the science of “Baubiologie,” as well as her knowledge and experience of synthetics, pollutants and toxics all about us which cause allergies and suffering.  We will learn how to show our appreciation for the needs of our newest piano playing UUCR participant — and others.

This topic is inviting to our many curious and argumentative UUs!  Machiavelli might be with us but Stalin and Hitler will be detained at the door. Stay for coffee and fellowship after the service!

June 16 — your opportunity! Please sign up for a topic on the white board in the foyer.

Our first session is POETRY,  with the invitation for all to provide a few and enjoy many! Poems may be read, recited, or remembered. What- ever the poetry shared, there will be time  for what UUCR does best — discussion and honest comments.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 2, 10 a.m., at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Easton, 7401 Ocean Gateway, Easton.  Kindly RSVP by May 20 to browninginstallation@gmail.com.  Childcare will be provided.  Please call with questions, 410-822-8103.

Loss and sacrifice come in many forms. While the gaps left by loss shift and change over time, they remain with us in some form. At this service Rev. Sue Browning will explore ways we privately and collectively hold, and shape, and reshape our memories. In honor of Memorial Day, the service will include an embracing meditation in memory of those who have died.

 Set against a backdrop of Vietnam protest songs, this sermon examines the wonder and openness of childhood, the vision and passion of youth, and the ways the young people of today lead and teach us. Special music by Meredith Hadaway.
