May 18 - “Amazing Grace”  Led by Rev. Rod Thompson.  The hymn “Amazing Grace” has almost become a national hymn, known and recognized by almost everyone.  Although I refuse to think of myself as a “wretch,” I don’t want us to lose this wonderful old song.  Join us as we celebrate “Amazing Grace.”

May 25 - What is America to Me? - Led by Bob Rudolph, CLL.  In celebration of Memorial Day, we will take a hard look at the stories, myths, and realities of what “America” means to us as a symbol, a way of governing, and a place.

June 1  Youth Sunday

June 8  “Jazz as an Ecclesiastical Model” Led by Rev. Rod Thompson and the UU Church of Akron Jazz Combo  In the Psalms we are urged to “make a joyful noise” with singing and dance and with various musical instruments of varying types and sounds. People, too, like musical instruments, come in various sizes and types and pitches and volumes and voices. When we come together in community we join in a unique kind of jazz. Come add your voice to the day. In fact, if you play an instrument and want to join in on the final music for the day, bring it along and join the Combo. Let’s make a joyful noise together!

June 15 “Hurry Up and Rest” Led by Rev. Rod Thompson  A lot of the people I know, especially at this time of the year, are tired – a demanding job, family responsibilities, friends, civic, community, and cultural activities – no wonder almost everyone is tired! So, on this Father’s Day I will offer something to counteract the command to “hurry up and rest.” Come and relax in church.
