1. Celebrate Pride this Week at Douglas UCC This weekend marks the 41st anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, a significant event marking the rise of the modern gay rights movement. We also mark the 38th anniversary of the ordination of William R. Johnson as Minister of Word and Sacrament in the United Church of Christ. Johnson was the first openly gay pastor ordained in the Church in hundreds of years. Watch the historic occasion of the debate around ordaining him and then his ordination on youtube at “A Position of Faith, Parts I & 2”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Come join us Sunday as we remember these significant achievements, share our place in them now, and look forward to further justice, equality, and peace. You won’t want to miss the Homily in Word & Song featuring the Chancel Choir and Peter Black.
2. Volunteers Needed for Family Week July 9-16
Family Week is an incredible and amazing week of families gathering from around the country to enjoy the beauty of Douglas/Saugatuck and the sanctuary of similar families. Much of Family’s Week’s activities are centered around Douglas UCC. And they need your help! Let’s step up. See the note below:
