Important! Summer Lay Led Service Schedule
There will be no services June 15 and June 22.
Lay led summer services will begin June 29 and will begin at 9:30 am. Please note this is a time change from previous years. Child care will be available.
The Program Committee is responsible for coordinating the Summer Sunday programs. As “old-timers” know, Summer is different. There is just one service at 9:30 am. It is lay led and far more informal than our services during the rest of the year. It usually involves lots of discussion and interaction among the attendees. Size varies, with anywhere from five or six to twenty. As a new member, you may find this a good way to remain connected during the summer and to get to know a small group of people much better. Baby-sitting/child supervision is provided.
Youth Group Boston Trip
The youth group and adults had the opportunity to travel to Boston for a UU field trip. The highlights were staying at the Elliot Picket House, visiting the New England Aquarium, walking tour of Beacon Hill, and everyone’s favorite, attending services at Arlington Street Church and then ringing the church bells afterwards!! Our very musical youth played Amazing Grace and Spirit of Life on the church bells which was heard all around Boston Commons! We also got to climb the steps to view the bells and clock works. Thanks again to everyone who participated. It was SO awesome that we might do it again!
Cortlandt/Croton Food Bank Support
Each week everyone is encouraged to bring a non-perishable item to donate to the basket in the rear of the church. The Social Concerns Committee Summer Food Pantry theme will be: tuna, mayo, peanut butter, jelly, cookies, tooth paste, tooth brushes, and juice.
Thank you, Bearni Croft and Bob Hudson
Buddhism Exploration Group
The Buddhism-Exploration group meets twice a month, on the first and third Sunday evenings at 6-7:30 pm.

There will be presentations of teachings by Buddhist lineage masters as well as spiritual teachers from a broad philosophical and psychological perspective. The programs include guided meditation and recorded talks or readings from books that appeal to a wide audience. There will be experience sharing in a supportive environment. All are welcome. No background is required. Topic details and exact dates are posted on the website FORUM.
The schedule dates for the remainder of the year are as follows:
2/10, 2/24, 3/9, 3/30, 4/20, 5/4, 5/18, 6/1, 6/15
Senior Youth New Years Eve Midnight Run
A HUGE thanks to ALL who donated, assisted in sorting goods, food preparation and traveled into New York City to deliver food and clothing to the homeless.
We stopped and distributed goods to about eight Manhattan locations. I don’t think it would be a stretch to say that it was a meaningful experience for all of us. Thanks again.
