History was made today, May 26, 2024, at UUCW as our brand new organ was played for the first time during a service. Here, Music Director Matt Johnsen strikes the first note of the first song, “Prelude in C Major,” by J. S. Bach. Fun fact: Matt plays the organ in his stocking feet; others wear special organ shoes.

#uucwreads highlights the ways that books are part of our members’ and staff’s lives. Author Loree Griffin Burns paid a visit to TidePool Bookshop in Worcester on May 19, 2024, for an author talk and book signing for her latest book, “One Long Line – Marching Caterpillars and the Scientists Who Followed Them.” Here, Loree talks about pine processionary caterpillars, the subject of her book.

Did you know that we have Lady’s Slippers starting to grow in our UUCW gardens? The backstory is cool. Last year Leo DaSilva planted 15 bare roots that we purchased from a nursery. To give the roots the correct growing environment (mycorrhiza), with permission from the property owner he brought in some forest soil and set it in the bed. Two are now blooming ❤️ and others will bloom in the future. ❤️❤️❤️ (photo by Betty Jenewin)
