Minister’s Message

As memories of summer fade in the cool air of Autumn, the rhythm of nature invites us to turn our focus inward. Buttoning up the garden, putting away the air conditioners, and debating on how soon we should turn up the heat remind us winter is coming. I am grateful for this time of year when I can don my favorite sweaters to enjoy the crisp morning air and feel the warm afternoon sun on my face. My delight in the beauty of brightly colored leaves and clear blue skies somehow make it easier to let go of Summer and prepare to embrace the quiet beauty of Winter in New England.

Parish Committee Sets Goals for the Church Year

At our annual retreat on August 25, the Parish Committee (PC) welcomed Rev. Beau Rivers, renewed our vision for the church, and set goals for the coming year. Our vision has not changed: we see a church that reaches out to the larger community, welcomes and integrates newcomers, provides opportunities for spiritual exploration, and serves social justice. The most important goals for 2024 -25 are completing major building repairs and streamlining committee functions.

October Music Musings

Such a treat starting up the new church year, with bells of enthusiasm ringing from every direction! The Chalice Choir is off and singing with 24 registrants. The Music Committee has compiled a large list of concerts and music related gatherings, most of them noted on the church calendar. The decision to have a monthly “family-friendly” service opens the doors to more music for children’s programming. And the beat goes on for our monthly Song Circle on the second Friday evening of each month.

Religious Exploration in October

We care about the interdependent web of life and taking care of one another.  At UU Middleboro we strive to create a program that allows our children to explore their ideas and faith in a safe and nurturing environment.  We draw our curriculum from the Tapestry of Faith on the UUA website for both the children and the youth.  We work hard to allow for the children to enjoy faith, fellowship, food and fun!  

Rotarians, Veterans Agent, and Congregation Dedicate New Peace Pole

Members of the congregation gathered around the new Peace Pole on the church lawn early Sunday afternoon, September 15, with district and local Rotary Club officers and the Middleboro Veterans Agent, to dedicate the pole to the cause of peace.

Register for Religious Exploration

Please plan to join us this fall! Registration is recommended, but not required for your children to attend classes. We use the registration to help us understand the children in class, their needs and any allergies they may bring.
