UUCW has a brand new organ! Here, Music Director Matt Johnsen, right, shows it to some members of the choir before service on May 19, 2024. From left are Mark Schlesinger, Joe Ruivo, Fran Schlesinger, Cathy McDonagh and Kim McCoy. The instrument is a Hammond CS-285, a 3 manual church organ. It will be played for the first time during service next Sunday, May 26th. (photo by Betty Jenewin)

Neither snow, nor sleet, nor hail, nor rain……..
Many of our Food Pantry volunteers worked in the drenching rain on the morning of May 18, 2024, serving over 65 clients! At left, Pete Lanyon, soaked to the bone, holds up one of the (thankfully) laminated car numbers. (photo by Vickie Cox-Lanyon, who also got drenched 😉) At right, Melissa McKeon, draped in a rain poncho, holds up the saturated preference forms at the end of the morning. It was nearly impossible to keep these forms dry today! (photo by Marilyn Martin)

#uucwreads highlights the ways that books are part of our members’ and staff’s lives. Author Loree Griffin Burns paid a visit to TidePool Bookshop in Worcester on May 19, 2024, for an author talk and book signing for her latest book, “One Long Line – Marching Caterpillars and the Scientists Who Followed Them.” In the photo at left, Loree talks about pine processionary caterpillars, the subject of her book. Her talk was educational and entertaining. In the photo at right, TidePool co-owner Jo Truesdell stands with Loree. Fun UU fact: Jo and her husband/TidePool co-owner Huck are members of First Unitarian. 😁 (photos by Betty Jenewin)

Ever wonder what the view from the pulpit is? This photo from the UUCW archives takes us back to April 15, 2018 and a “minister’s eye” view of the service. Here, the Rev. Aaron Payson leads the congregation in singing the Closing Hymn, “Daoona Nayeesh.” (photo by Betty Jenewin)
