Friday Noon Concerts schedule.

Here's What's Happening:

Friday, June 19

12 noon - Friday Noon Concert Series: This Friday June 19, Duo con Anima - Fern Abrams and Joan Garniss, duo-pianists, are calling their program "The New York Connection." The composers whose works they'll perform all made their mark in NYC: Aaron Copland, Norman Dello Joio, Leonard Bernstein, and Paul Creston. The music begins at noon and will include "Ballet for Martha" from Copland's Appalachian Spring, and Bernstein's Overture to "Candide."

Sunday, June 21

10:30 a.m. - Celebration Sunday & Flower Communion. In this final service of the church year, we will mark the end of the year just passed, and honor Norbert Čapek, a Czech Unitarian minister and martyr who later perished at the hands of the Nazis. In June 1923, Čapek created a ritual of union for his diverse congregation in Prague. His Flower Communion symbolized the uniqueness of each individual, and the coming together in communion to share this uniqueness. On this day we and most other UU congregations remember Čapek and his vision of what life could be like. Please remember to bring a flower for the Flower Communion. Arline will deliver a short homily as part of this intergenerational service. Nursery care provided for infants and toddlers. All other children attend the service with their families.

12 noon - Church picnic on the Harrington Rd. lot.
