A re-reading of the Declaration of Independence for the times in which we live. Our forefathers included all humanity in this transcendent foundational document, which has important instructions for us about how to do the social justice work that we continue to do today. Special music by Lester J. Black and Laurel Mendes. Contact:office@firstunitarian.net Also: Bi-monthly tour of our historic church. Contact: history@firstunitarian.net
- TBD —Towson Unitarian Universalist Church, Lutherville MD, 10:30AM | “From Whence Cometh Hope” is the featured theme of TUUC’s Summer 2009 Worship program. The Lay Worship Associates are excited to bring moving, thought-provoking worship opportunities to the congregation each week during the summer months, and we look forward to your feedback.
- UU Congregation of Columbia, Columbia MD, 10AM | Bernadette Rock’s presentation will reflect how America has touched the life of someone who was born, raised, and educated in India, and how over the last 27 years, she has blossomed and developed as a practicing nurse in this country. We will also sing several patriotic songs, and the children will learn about the Declaration of Independence.
- Channing Memorial Church, Ellicott City MD, 10AM | Summer services begin at Bethany Lane on June 21st at 10 a.m. These small, lay-led summer services have a loyal following, an intimate, welcoming atmosphere and are a good way to continue your spiritual journey in a small, conversational setting. Keep your eye on the church website, the church e-group, and the summer newsletters for more details. Families welcome (No Nursery or Sunday School).
- “Our American Roots: Unitarian Universalism in North America” — UUs of Fallston, Fallston MD, 11AM | This part of the series will feature Emerson, Thoreau and the Transcendentalists.
- Cedarhurst UUs, Finksburg MD, 9:30AM
- “Running on Empty?”— UU Church of Annapolis, Annapolis MD, 9AM | It seems that every week brings the sad and breathtaking news of the demise or bankruptcy of another American corporation or business. And with it comes stories about the heartache and pain of owners, workers, and investors. This holiday weekend, as we ponder the birth of our nation and the role of our early mothers and fathers, let's also explore the shaping meaning and message of the current economic hardships from historical, patriotic and spiritual perspectives. There will also be a Newcomer Talk & Tour from 11:00AM-11:45AM.
