June Jubilee is a long-time tradition at Unity Church. Held on the second Sunday of June, this year on June 9th, it is a Sunday service held at the Governor Ames Estate, here in Easton at 35 Oliver Street, close to Unity Church, and the service starts at 10:30 am. The Ames Estate is now owned by the Trustees of the Reservation but it is still available for this special annual service. Here's a local map to the estate.
This shorter inter-generational service is held outside near the house and everyone should bring either folding chairs or blankets to sit on. This year we celebrate the great year we have had and recognize our most recent new members.

The United Brass will accompany our singing. After the service we will have a potluck lunch, cake and other desserts and are free to enjoy the grounds, taking walks, playing wiffle ball or tennis, blowing bubbles, enjoying yard games, or just relaxing.  

As we all know, the weather in June does not guarantee sunny dry conditions for our outside events. So, if it rains, we will hold June Jubilee Sunday service at our Unity Church building. We will still enjoy the music of United Brass and we will have our potluck in Parish Hall. If it rains, we will need to bring some indoor games to play.

Worship Turns to Fellowship for the Summer
Hi Unity Family,

After a lively conversation about the pros and cons of continuing with services over the summer, we decided to pause.  We know that for many this will be a relief, and for some it will be a disappointment.

To those of you who did enjoy summer services or even relied on them for Fellowship, the Worship Committee would like to say that it wasn't a decision made casually. We are sorry for the loss it will be to some of you, but in the end we felt, overall, it would be more loving to the entire community to encourage a break from the organizing and contributing to Sunday services.

We have all worked hard together to make this year such a success, work that will not diminish dramatically even when we find a part-time minister. We, over at the Worship Committee, want you to continue to be active participants making Sundays so fulfilling, and we want you to rest up before we start calling again!

But just because Sunday Services end, doesn't mean Fellowship has too! Please join us for Fellowship in the Parrish Hall for a potluck on the third Friday of the month at 6:00pm, that is:

• June 21
• July 19
• August 16

Come and share your summer adventures, your troubled waters, and your restful musings!

Stay tuned to the website, Facebook, or the Unity News for any other announcements and group activities that could be planned to give us a chance to gather together for fun and fellowship over the summer. We have already heard some great ideas thrown about out there!

Thank you for your amazing support this year! Have a wonderful summer! See you at Water Communion on September 8th - or at a potluck!

Your Friends on the Worship Committee,
Jannelle Codianni, Michelle Blake, Kate Haven, Anne Fredericks, Mark Kunemund, Jason Gold, and Donna Taylor. 

• June selection is Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. The meeting date is June 12, 2013.

You will want to take a look! Here's just one of the incredible pieces of content in the packet:

Thanks to our Executive Committee Clerk, Ellen Dehm, and many Committee Chairs, we now have a booklet that includes descriptions of each committee, and photos of each committee member. The booklet will be updated annually with new committee member photos. This will make it so much easier, especially for newer church members, to put faces to those names they have heard!

To view or download a copy of the booklet, just click the logo above. You will need to log in as a member to access this document. If you are not sure how to log in as a member, click here to contact the Web Administrator for instructions.

We will also keep a copy or two posted in Parish Hall on the cork board.
