June’s Theme is “Celebrating Blessings“

Our UU faith in practice and action:

• Pride Month Activities
  • 3 Ways to Be an ALLY Video Queer Kids Stuff, with Puppet Teddy and Lindsay, presents a great explanation of words and ideas around diversity, such as privilege, and being an ally. 
  • Seacoast Outright’s Pride Portsmouth March on June 25th

• 100 Blessings Challenge! Can be done individually or as a family, cut 100 strips of colored paper that are about 1″x6″. On each strip, write a blessing that you or your family has in your life. Glue, tape or staple the ends of the strips into connected circles to make a chain. Hang the chain to remind you of your blessings when things are hard.
• Count Your Blessings Game (For adults and kids who can write)
• General Assembly is the annual meeting of the Unitarian Universalist Association and is a gathering of people of our UU faith. There are worship times, workshops, lectures, and the business of the UUA. This year it will be held in Portland OR 6/22-6/26/2022. There will also be online streaming of many GA events.

Chalice Lighting for mealtimes this month:

By BETSY DARR

May the light of this chalice give light and warmth to our family, On good days and bad, happy and sad,
And may we feel the warmth spread from our family circle
to wider and wider circles,

Until we feel our family part of the one circle of life.
