SUMMARY:Blessing of the Animals - Multigenerational Service (No Religious Exploration)
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to bring your favorite furry\, hairy\, feathered\, scaly\, or shelled pet to the Sunday morning service at FUUSN. We will celebrate our kinship with all living creatures in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and share one of his iconic stories of compassion. This will be a service for all generations\, and we encourage you to invite pet-loving friends to join us! \nYou can bring your beloved creatures along or bring a photo of them; we will also offer a memorial for pets who are no longer with us (who can also be represented with a photo). \nDeciding whether to bring your pet or bring a photo? If you can say yes to these things\, please bring ‘em: \n\nI can keep my pet in my physical control (via leash\, carrier\, box etc.) indoors for 45 minutes\nMy pet won’t be overly stressed by the presence of other animals or humans\n\nIf you are someone who is allergic to animals but would like to be present for the service\, we recommend that you wear a mask and sit in the pews near the rear of the sanctuary to limit your exposure.

SUMMARY:Summer Chime Concert
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to bring blankets or lawn chairs to FUUSN’s front lawn for a casual (free) concert. Feel free to bring a picnic supper. In case of rain\, indoor seating will be provided. \nEach concert will last about one hour. During the summer series chimers will include Paul Antonucci\, Bob Feldman\, Cathy Longley-Cook\, and Jenny Xia\, and quite likely others. View our program. \nDid you notice the silence? FUUSN’s bells went silent in February when chimers noticed damage to a pulley. Repairs in June were made by John McShane\, on behalf of his family’s firm\, McShane Bell Co. Back in 1916\, the same company that forged and installed FUUSN’s bells! \nThe chime consists of eleven bells with a combined weight just shy of seven tons. Each bell is engraved with a motto that FUUSN chose\, giving insight into the the theology and values of 1916 West Newton Unitarians.
