The Social Justice Team will meet Tuesday, June 2nd at 6:30. Please join if you can so we can discuss plans for the summer and fall.
CHARLES MORGAN EVENT
Please sign up to help and mark your calendars for Saturday, July 5th! We will have a day long "Morgan" celebration in the Church & Garden featuring lunch/snacks in the Garden, children's activities, a Sea Chantey Concert in Tryworks Auditorium and Sanctuary tours all day. The wonderful Cape Verdean Parade marches right by the church around noon and we have the perfect vantage point to watch the festivities from. Please plan to join us! If you'd like to help out that day (giving tours, manning craft or food tables, etc.) please call or email the office. We will have a sign up sheet for volunteers in the Parish House.
RIDES NEEDED!
DOES ANYONE HAVE A SPARE SEAT IN THE CAR?
We have several newcomers that would like to attend church but are unable to get a ride here on Sundays. Is anyone available to give a lift to these folks on Sundays?, Please call the office for more information. Thank you.
NEW EMAIL ADDRESSES
We have decided to phase out our nbu718@aol.com email address by July 1st and we'll be using our website addresses instead. Please add our website addresses to your contact lists. They are: minister@uunewbedford.org for Rev. Paul and admin@uunewbedford.org for the office.

We will be CLOSED on Sunday, June 29th so that everyone who wants to can attend the service at GA in Providence. Come worship with 6000 other UU's!
Anyone want to carpool? Give us a call and we'll make arrangements.
If you will not be attending the GA worship service that day, consider going to the Seaman's Bethel for their service welcoming the Charles W. Morgan to the port.
ANNUAL REPORT CORRECTION
In the oral report given at the Annual Meeting, I gave an incorrect number of new members that joined during the year. There were actually 13 new members, not 8. I regret the mistake.
