Message: Luke 6: 27-38
Scripture: Children’s Sunday and Pentecost!
It’s Pentecost and Children’s Sunday this week! Bring you family, neighbors and friends to celebrate our children and youth and the blessing of their presence in our community. One of the greatest gifts of UPA is our inclusion of our children. We recognize that even as Jesus recognized the blessing that they are, we too celebrate their (sometimes unbridled!) joy and energy. All year they’ve been learning the stories of our faith during their faith formation time, singing songs and reimagining meaning through crafts and hands-on learning. This Sunday we get to hear the story of the gospel through their experiences.
See you Sunday!
Peace,
Cheryl
PS… PRIDE PARADE NOTE!! The organizers of Boston’s Pride Parade and Boston’s 50501 org have joined forces to both celebrate Pride AND protest the fascist direction of our current federal administration. “No Kings but YAAAS Queen!” will be the theme of the parade and the parties afterwards so if you are marching or plan to join the party/protest afterwards (at the Boston Common AND City Hall Plaza) be sure to bring your posterboard sized signs to march with that read “No Kings – Yaaas Queen!” or the likes!
