Hi everyone! 

Unfortunately, we are  cancelling our “Dog Days of Summer” Play Date this year which was scheduled to meet on August 16. 

Currently, there are 3 Worcester Dog Parks. One of them recently changed from grass to gravel, the second, is under construction and the third is too small for our group.  Unfortunately this year we don’t have a gathering space for the pups to run and play.

Instead, if anyone would still like to get together, we plan to walk at the Mass Central Rail Trail in West Boylston at on Sunday, August 16. We will meet in the parking lot there at 10:00am. The Central Rail Trail is a shaded walk with room for dogs (on leash).

Directions: Enter “Mass Central Rail Trail – River Road Trailhead, West Boylston, MA” into your GPS. From Route 190, take Exit 5 (Route 140), head toward West Boylston, turn onto River Road, and the trailhead parking lot is just off River Road.

Hope to see you there! 

Rachel & Brian Keyo

This service will be an open conversation about their experience being a two Mom family. What it means to be a part of the LGBTQIA2S+ Community in the US in 2026. As well as why they created Massachusetts Rainbow Families. There will also be a portion of the service dedicated to answering questions.

Humans have long used music to protest and resist what is wrong. This summer service traces the living tradition of protest songs – born at the edges of the possible. What makes a song a protest? What happens when a movement claims a melody? How do these songs continue to call us – personally and collectively – toward a more just world?

We’ll sing, reflect, and perhaps even co-create our own song of resistance.

The universe is forever
indifferent to our sorrow

and this is why we
make music of it.
