Join us for the first of our four summer Sunday morning services, stay for coffee hour, then for our Vermont Reads discussion group. All welcome!

It is one of the great joys in life to do work that brings meaning and satisfaction. Yet, this experience eludes many Americans, for whom meaningful work and gainful employment are very hard to come by. "The working poor" has become a mundane phrase. Wages for men without high school diplomas has fallen steadily for the past 50 years.

We'll draw on the book Bread and Roses, Too, by Katherine Paterson for insight about the current situation and its disturbing roots in the history of this country. Come explore why this is a spiritual issue and where we might look for hope.

You're invited to a discussion on this topic after the coffee hour, from noon to 1. We'll be using the book, "Bread and Roses, too" by Vermont author, Katherine Paterson, as a touchstone for the discussion which will be facilitated by Rev. Mellen. Free copies of the book available at the church. Held at Springfield UU, 21 Fairground Rd, Springfield, VT.
