| Seniors/Graduates' Sunday Worship Celebration |
Though Commencement is still three weeks away, this is our last worship service before Exams begin, and we will celebrate our graduating students and all our student staff and helpers. Graduating Student Deacons Ben Colon-Emeric and Sarah Grube will share their reflections as our sermon. We will bless and commission all our graduates and we will recognize all our staff. We will sing UCY favorite hymns and the choir will sing favorite anthems. Yale policies require that only current students and staff and pre-approved visitors may attend worship in-person in Battell Chapel. All others are welcome to join on Zoom.

| Commencement Weekend Worship |
Pastor Ian Oliver will preach and Associate Pastor Jenny Peek will offer prayers and blessings as we congratulate and commission our UCY graduating students. PLEASE NOTE: Due to Commencement events on Old Campus, UCY worship will be relocated from Battell Chapel to Marquand Chapel at the Yale Divinity School at 409 Prospect Street at 10 a.m., not 10:30 a.m. Parking is available – turn in at the Divinity School entrance and go to the top of the hill and enter the lot. An usher will be present at the door by the parking lot from 9:30-10:00 a.m. to let you into the building. Yale Covid policies require that all attendees be vaccinated and boosted. Current Yale students and staff are automatically approved. All others must be pre-approved before attending in-person - email Pastor Ian with your proof of vaccination at ian.oliver@yale.edu. NO ZOOM THIS SUNDAY: Because of our relocation we won’t be able to have a Zoom meeting for worship this Sunday. But we do hope to record the service and post it to our UCY YouTube page later in the day. ZOOM will return on Sunday, May 29th. |
