Bloomington Normal 50501 is hosting a June 14th watch party for Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with 90-minutes of music beginning at 6:30 PM.

Rise Up, Sing Out is a presentation of the Committee for the First Amendment. The watch party features an uplifting evening of song, solidarity, and action. Rise Up, Sing Out includes an all-star line-up of performers celebrating the freedoms guaranteed by our First Amendment; of speech, religion, press, assembly, and protest, and the people power that both fuels these rights and is essential to guarantee them. Rise Up, Sing Out features Bette Midler, Patti Smith, Rufus Wainwright, Sasha Allen, Joy Reid, Peppermint, Julia Roberts, and many others.

2026-06-15 18:00 - 20:00 | Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington-Normal, 1613 East Emerson Street, Bloomington, IL, 61701, United States
Exploring Membership
Mondays, June 1 & 15, 6-8 p.m.
Have you been thinking about church membership? Do you want to know more about becoming a member, our faith and our church? You’re invited to join us for our two-session Exploring Membership class from 6-8 p.m. on Mondays, June 1 and 15, in the Walker Room.

We’ll go into depth about the history of UUism, our theology, how we conduct our church business, our community events, and the advantages of becoming a member. Each session covers different material so we encourage you to attend both classes. If you can only attend one, we can provide material from the other class. If you’re not interested in membership now but want more information about us, we invite you to attend, too.

Although we’ll meet in person, you can attend virtually on Zoom; contact the church office manager at office@uubn.org or 309-828-0235 if this is your preference. If having child care would enable you to attend these classes, please contact the office manager by May 18.
If you decide to become a member, you’ll have the opportunity to sign the membership book at our June 28 Sunday service. Then we’ll celebrate with cake afterward!

Registration is not required but requested. Please contact the church office or Kathy Packard, Membership Team leader, at kjpbooks@frontier.com.

Our new Covenant Group is perfect for anyone who wants to work on their spiritual development but can’t commit to regularly attending monthly meetings. Using a monthly packet, participants will engage with one spiritual exercise and one reflective question each month. Come to the group prepared to share what you learned and to listen deeply to others.
Gatherings are scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month. You’ll discuss the materials from the previous month (ie. on October 1, you’ll share your experiences with the September packet).
Email Terina (LRE@uubn.org) to be added to the email list for the materials and reminders.
