Watermelon Bar

Come join us the Sunday after the Fourth of July, to celebrate Independence Day by sharing watermelon prepared on the Turquoise Table! Encourage bypassers and friends to sit at the Turquoise table.

Please note: Volunteers needed to help hand out watermelon! Come join us to share s watermelon bar with the congregants and people who pass by on after Sunday after the 4th of July!

Summer Services are a great time for all congregations to get to know each other and to engage in self exploration. Each Sundays’ gathering will consist of open discussion conducted by co-leaders of the UUCSW. These discussion suggestions are from Kristin Schell The Turquoise Table and have been modified to fit this Unitarian Universalist setting. This year's Summer Services are intended to introduce the New Turquoise Table to the congregation, the community and to welcome other churches.

BYO lawn chair or beach blanket!

Rev. Laurel's Send-off

There was a nice turnout for Rev Laurel's sendoff! The weather reflected the mood (gloomy and a little drippy) so we had to transition from outside to inside. All were flexible- bodes well going forward :-)

Laurel loved her beautiful garden stole from the congregation and Kala put her usual lovely spin on the ending. We know this is a new beginning for us all and wish Laurel well.

Thanks to all helpers who made sure it all went off without a hitch!

SMOC Food and Clothing Drives

SMOC food and clothing donations may be dropped off in the box in the Sanctuary every Sunday. Bologna may be stored in the upstairs refrigerator in the parlor. Other requested items are chewy granola bars and juice boxes.

July's SMOC collections will be delivered to the Worcester shelter on Friday July 26th. Donations may also be dropped off on the Thursday evening before, on July 25th. (Ruggles Street door from 4:30 - 5:45) If you need alternate arrangements for drop-off, please contact Pauline Sciarappa at psciarappa@gmail.com. Thanks to all who help UUCSW support SMOC, your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Book Group

Our next book group meeting will be Fri, July 12 at 7pm at Central One Bank, 40 South Street, Westborough. The book this month is The Measure, by Nikki Erlick.

The Measure follows eight people after they, like the rest of the world, receive a box containing a string that designates their lifespan. The book explores how these people’s lives and relationships change as a result of knowing the length of their lives or choosing not to know at all.

Please contact Susie Wells with any questions: susie48winnip@gmail.com.

All are welcome!

RJC - Looking ahead to fall planning!

Stay tuned this fall for a "film and discussion series” related to building bridges over differences. These will take place on Sundays following the service. More details will follow!

Thanks all.
