Newsletter 4th June 2022
As in previous weeks, for ease of reference, here is the Zoom link should you wish to attend the Sunday Morning Service of Mindful Meditation online:
<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86584947084?pwd=RHdlVWIvaG5uajcxODhqT2h5djExZz09>
Meeting ID: 865 8494 7084
Password: 729425
Full details of the service can be found at the following link:

Following the end of the service, there will be a very short, Pentecost/Whitsunday Communion service. Naturally, everyone is welcome and, equally naturally, there is absolutely no expectation or requirement for anyone to attend. If it speaks to you, splendid, but if it doesn’t, that’s fine too, and just wander through to coffee. The full communion service can be found under the Occasional Services tab on our website or simply click on the following link:

This week there are two blogs/podcasts connected with Pentecost. The longer piece on the “fiery rope” was to be my thought for the day piece in the service but the subject proved impossible to address in the time now allotted for my words so it’s become a longer post/blogpost. The shorter piece, containing two readings, is what I’ll offer up tomorrow morning.

Cambridge Food Bank
There is a food bank collecting box at the church every Sunday. You can find the current list of what is needed at <https://cambridgecity.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/> so please do check it before deciding what to bring.
Church lunches
It’s a while since we had a communal lunch at the church. So we’ve decided to re-start with a ‘bring-you-own-picnic’ lunch at the church after the service on Sunday 3 July. More details nearer the time.
Summer tea parties
The committee also talked about the summer tea parties, which have been running for several years now. For those of you who are new, these events take place at the homes of members and friends of the church. So we’ll be looking for people to host tea parties in July, August and September. Saturday afternoons 3-5pm is the usual time. If you might be interested in hosting one of these events, please contact Brendan on secretary@cambridgeunitarian.org
I look forward to seeing some of you this Sunday.
