The coming week is one of celebrations, beginning with Father’s Day on this day, followed by Juneteeth on June 19 and Summer Solstice on June 20. We also have four graduating BBUUC Youth who we will recognize in a Bridging Ceremony. This worship service will celebrate these coming events, including this day’s recognition of Father’s day with a homily on Dad Jokes written by Rev. Nell Newton, presented by Alyssa Halliday. Join us for a special worship offering!
