This month’s New Moon falls in the sign of Virgo and appears just after Mercury comes out of retrograde, with the Sun and Moon opposing Saturn. As we prepare to experience another turn of the Wheel in just three weeks, this New Moon provides us with an opportunity to slow down, to hit the reset button on our lives if necessary, and reassess before we come into balance at the Equinox.
A postcarding party will be held in the Parish Hall on Wednesday, September 11, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. We will have postcards from Workers Circle on which we will write messages to swing-state voters who have been identified as often not voting, encouraging them to get to the polls. We mention issues but not candidates. Bring colored pens if you have them, and let Lois Aldrich know you are coming--or just stop by!
We hope you will join us for this fun night of music, sponsored by the Church and open to the public! We start at 6:00 p.m. with a potluck of hearty snacks in the Parish Hall, so bring along a favorite treat to share. A circle of chairs will be set up along with a portable keyboard, and we will provide some percussion instruments.
UU Middleboro thanks the Middleboro Rotary Club for the new Peace Pole they have installed on our front lawn. A dedication ceremony will be held on Sunday, September 15, at 12:30 p.m. on the church lawn. The Rotary Club and other community representatives will participate. The Social Justice Team will provide refreshments after in the Parish Hall. Church and community members will be invited to attend.
Our selection for September is An Unfinished Love Story by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Ed Priest will be facilitating this discussion. If you are not on the Book Club's email list, but would like to join us for the discussion, please contact Lois Aldrich (lois.aldrich63@gmail.com). New and old members are welcome.
Do you enjoy hand crafts such as knitting, crocheting, embroidery, needlepoint, quilting, etc.? We are resurrecting our hand crafting group. We gather once per month to work on our projects, offer support, and also make prayer shawls for folks in the congregation in need of comfort. Come experts and newbies (we can help teach you) and gather for handwork, snacks, and conversation.

This Full Moon falls in the sign of Pisces, the sign of the fish, cosmic birthplace to dreamers, empaths, and those who are antennae for the emotional expression of the Universe.
Tonight we celebrate Mabon, the second of three harvest festivals, the time when we acknowledge in earnest the fruits of our labors. Harvesting, winnowing, separating the wheat from the chaff, putting things by to ensure we will have enough to see us through the lean times of winter.
This month’s New Moon falls in the sign of Libra, the great equalizer. Sometimes pictured as a set of scales,it weighs opposite energies and seeks to bring them into balance.
