Sometimes year-round residents of Arizona feel as if everything here grinds to a halt as soon as our winter visitors leave. It’s true that many of the church’s regular activities are on summer break, but that doesn’t mean June will be boring! Get ready for Father’s Day, Flag Day, Lunch with Your Deacon, Summer in the Library, and the first of this year’s One in Spirit/One in Song ecumenical hymn sings.
Starting June 4, we’ll also be experimenting with Sunday worship services in Swain Hall. This will let us save money on air conditioning, finish the changes to the Sanctuary sound system, and have some fun at the same time. Join us for special experiences such as communion by intinction and David preaching from a stool!
If that’s not enough excitement for you, consider celebrating one of these upbeat June holidays:
- June 1—National Say Something Nice Day
- June 4—Hug Your Cat Day
- June 8—National Best Friends Day
- June 11—National Making Life Beautiful Day
- June 12—National Peanut Butter Cookie Day
- June 15—National Smile Power Day
- June 26—National Take Your Dog to Work Day
You can even be part of (or go listen to) a flash choir singing Vivaldi’s Gloria to celebrate the summer solstice on Monday, June 20, 2016, in the Great Reading Room on the fifth floor of the Burton Barr Central Library. The performance will feature the Civic Chorus and an instrumental ensemble of gongs, drums, harps and keyboard. The space opens at 11:30 am with music, followed by a noon talk with architect and designer of the library Will Bruder, and finishes with the Gloria.
Welcome to June!
