June 2025 Worship Calendar

June 1, Flower Ceremony, Revs Bill Neely and Jennifer Kelleher

Join the UU Princeton community for a modern UU tradition: the Flower Ceremony! Everyone is invited to bring a flower (any flower you wish) to worship. We’ll randomly exchange them during the service to celebrate diversity, unity, and our tradition. This service will also include our High School Graduate Bridging Ceremony and a Celebration of New Members. And, our Annual Meeting will immediately follow the service, and after that, our Spring Picnic! Be sure to bring your friends!

June 8, Visibility & Pride, UU Princeton Rainbow Ministry
As we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month, our pride here is intertwined with our visibility in the wider world. Visibility can help bring about acceptance, representation and finding a communal home. But being visible can also make individuals vulnerable, especially in the current climate. How can we keep ourselves safe? How can allies use their privileged visibility to keep the LGTBQ+ community safe, and advance our beloved community together? Join us as we examine these challenges, working toward love and justice for all.

June 15, Love at the Edges, Rev. Bill Neely

Love is at the center of our denomination’s new Shared Values, reflecting our tradition as well as who we are becoming. We are a faith rooted in love that is still ever-growing in love. How does this lead us beyond ourselves to neighbor, stranger, and newcomer? How can our “center” strengthen us for ministry at the edges? 

June 22, What Remains of Us, Rev. Bill Neely

H. Lawrence wrote, “When fulfilled people die / the essential oil of their experience enters / the veins of living space, and adds a glisten / to the atom, to the body of immortal chaos.” With these lines, the poet invites us to consider how we shall live, knowing that our essence continues after we die. How can we continue to bless, even when we are no more?

June 29, The Way of Welcoming, Rev. Bill Neely

Just about every congregation, of just about every faith, concerns itself with welcoming the stranger. There are many ways, and many whys behind this practice, but done with good intent, the act of welcoming ends up blessing all involved. In this service we’ll explore why that is, and how we can all faithfully welcome one another.
