SERVICES IN JUNE
June 2, 2013 -
Moving Up/Bridging Sunday - 9:30 and 11:00am
The Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker,
Assistant Minister.“I’m Nobody,
Who are You?”
As we begin a month of worship with the theme, “Humility,” we’ll explore
both the fruits and the folly of fame,
and how a culture of personal
branding, tweets, and blogs has
obscured the line between healthy
self-promotion and hubris. Is it still
okay to just feel good about
ourselves? Or have we become a
society that needs others to “Like” our
lives on Facebook?
Bridging Ceremony at 11:00 a.m.
JUNE 9, 2013 - Flower Communion Sunday - 9:30 and 11:00am
The Rev. Dr. David Herndon, Senior
Minister.
Bring a flower to this uniquely
Unitarian Universalist ceremony which
was started by Czech Unitarian
minister Rev. Norbert Capek in the
1920s. Our service will weave
together many different themes:
human rights, solidarity with those
who are oppressed, respect for the
earth, and the importance of religious
community. Children and youth are
encouraged to participate in this
festive intergenerational service!
Annual Picnic - 11:00
Please join us in the garden for good eats, live music, bubbles, sunshine and fellowship, ATTIRED IN YOUR
MOST festive floral finery. Prizes given for the most
flowery dressed Child, Woman & Man!
We will provide the chicken (fried and baked); rice, pinto
bean and corn salad with spinach; watermelon; cake and
beverages.
JUNE 16, 2013 Fathers’ Day and Pride Sunday - 10:00am
Summer Schedule Begins -
One Service only at 10:00 a.m.
The Rev. Dr. David Herndon, Senior Minister.
In accord with our spiritual theme for June (Humility) and as
preparation for those participating in
the Pride Parade, the sermon will
address the importance of partnership
in social justice work – partnership
that extends from one community to
another, and partnership that extends
from one generation to another.
JUNE 23, 2013 - 10:00am
Kathy Parker. “Our Documents, Our Stories: Why Should We Care?”
The sermon will describe the new link on our church website - which makes
accessible 116 original documents
from the Founding and Development
of the First Unitarian Church of
Pittsburgh. Selected examples will be
cited to show what these documents
might mean for us as a religious
family today.
