            [post_content] => The Growing Grandparents Group is changing its name! In order to let people know that we are an inclusive group, we have decided to change our name to UPSeniors. We will continue to have the same member-led, thought provoking conversations and activities, either in person or online. You can reach us at our new address: UPSeniors@upbrookline.org.

You are invited to an end-of-the-year celebration with the UPSeniors (formerly Growing Grandparents) on Wednesday, June 10, at 10am in Alicia H's backyard. Our time of fellowship will include a Chair Dancing class: Move, Groove and Improve, followed by a potluck picnic lunch. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a dish to share. Alicia will provide cold drinks, ice, and paper products. Let us know if you can join the fun.

            [post_content] => Summer Lemonade Hour begins June 21 in Willett Hall

Unlike Coffee Hour during the year, Summer Lemonade Hour only provides lemonade and water after worship.  This is managed by our Head Custodian, Violet.

If worshippers would like to provide a snack or baked good for fellowship time on a particular summer Sunday, they can sign up for a date after worship in Willett Hall.

This is what is involved if you decide to sign up:
  • You do not need to manage the beverage – Custodian does this
  • The baked good/snack should have a description of the ingredients – for potential allergies
  • Set out paper plates and napkins
  • If you need a knife or cake server, they are in the kitchenette drawers upstairs
  • Clear up the food area after the social time is over
Thank you very much for considering participating in this important part of United Parish’s community life! -Gathering Ministry Team [post_title] => Summer Fellowship Time [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => summer [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2026-05-21 15:26:50 [post_modified_gmt] => 2026-05-21 15:26:50 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://www.unitedparishbrookline.org/?post_type=upb_news&p=8727 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => upb_news [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) [2] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 8708 [post_author] => 3 [post_date] => 2026-05-15 18:19:55 [post_date_gmt] => 2026-05-15 18:19:55 [post_content] => Join Brookline Interfaith Clergy Association for our second annual Interfaith Pride Service on the lawn outside United Parish in Brookline on Sunday, June 7 at 2pm.
