Conversation and refreshments after service.

June 2: “Gifts of the outdoors.”
In celebration of CT Trails Day. Weather permitting, we will meet in the grove (next to the meeting house) and try to discover some of the gifts to be found outdoors. Service coordinated by Bob Caruthers and Shula Weinstein.

June 9: “The Lead Arrow Striking the Water beneath the Bright Vine-covered Mountain.”

After the service those wishing to may walk to the main parking lot at the south side of the park. Car pooling will be arranged if needed. Coordinated by Francis Braunlich.

June 30: "The Dyslexic Dog and Other Flawed Creators"
Tricksters may not have made this world, but they have played decisive roles in molding it after its creation. Among other common creative themes we will look at the Great Flood. Coordinated by Francis Braunlich and Elizabeth Neuse.
