The Elsie Gaudette Award can be given this spring (the third Sunday in June) to a person who exemplifies the service and dedication to this church that Elsie did for many years. The Elsie Gaudette Award Committee will be meeting to review the nominations.
CUUPS will celebrate Beltane, the great fire festival that honors the full flowering of Earth in renewal. In earlier times, bonfires would blaze on the hilltops, illuminating the night sky. People would dance the Maypole, and young lovers would celebrate their tryst by jumping the broom.
This New Moon falls in the sign of Taurus the Bull… the quintessential Earth sign. The Bull had great significance for many ancient cultures… Egyptians worshipped the Apis bulls to the extent that they mummified them and buried them in their own temple in the Serapeum or Saqqara.
We hope you will join us for this fun night of music, sponsored by the Church and open to the public! We start at 6:00 p.m. with a potluck of hearty snacks in the Parish Hall, so bring along a favorite treat to share. A circle of chairs will be set up along with a portable keyboard, and we will provide some percussion instruments.
On May 16 we will honor Bob Waterman by putting a plaque on the pew where he always sat. There will be an opportunity if you would like to offer a line or two of remembrance. The service will take place in the sanctuary from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Music Sunday this year is a series of reflections on MUSIC by Susan Hotchkiss (Music Director), joined by the Chalice Choir, vocal ensembles, soloists, and instrumentalists. What is the connection between music and nature, music and people, people and nature? Why is music important?
