October is now known as Indigenous People’s Month in honor of those upon whose lands we currently live…the land originally called Turtle Island.
Final chance to get together in the Parish Hall while we finish up postcards and letters before Lois mails them by the October 15 deadline. Come help encourage reluctant and undecided voters to get to the polls. We don't tell them who to vote for. We do speak of the issues they care about. Light refreshments, great camaraderie.
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.
Join us on Saturday, October 12 from 10:00 a. m. to 12;00 noon in the Parish Hall for a needle felting workshop, generously offered by Tanya Trzeciak. Tanya will provide all the materials that are needed as well as instructions and tips.
Our featured music event in October is a Sunday afternoon Drumming Workshop on October 13 at 3:00 PM, led by Sam Holmstock of Entrain. Beginners and experienced drummers are all welcome to join us! Sam is super-competent and LOTS of fun!
Whether you've been unable to attend any of the other sessions or have been at them all, this one will be extra special. It's the last chance to participate in writing some of our record-breaking 1,800 pieces of mail to reluctant voters in swing states. And it will be a thank-you celebration. Pizza and goodies will be served.
This month’s Full Moon falls in the sign of Aries, the cosmic ram. We, who still honor the Old Ways, are preparing for the Sabbat of Samhain, the final harvest. It is the last harvest before the cold winds of Winter move across the land.
UU Middleboro is once again hosting a Road Rally on Saturday, October 19. Up to 20 cars can participate, and each car carries a team of two to four people. (Hint: Four is easier than Two!) Each team follows directions to navigate a slightly tricky course over public roads. The team’s challenge is to use clues to answer questions while safely following all traffic laws along the way. Only $45 per team.
The UU Book Club continues to meet on the third Monday of the month. Book Club members will be emailed the Zoom link a few days before each meeting.
Our selection for October is Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward. Vi Fairweather will be facilitating this discussion. The book for our November meeting is Being Mortal by Atul Gawande.
Many folks may not be aware that the church owns a small parcel of land on the northeast side of the building, toward the far end of the driveway, which was generously purchased and donated by the Benards years ago with the intention of possibly adding on to the church building at some point in the future. In the meantime, the area has become very overgrown and is desperately in need of a major cleanup.
The Wheel has turned once again to Samhain. It is said to be the time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest, making communication with our beloved dead most favorable.
This month’s New Moon falls in the sign of Scorpio, perhaps the most misunderstood sign of the entire zodiac. Scorpio is a water sign and, as such, encourages us to dive deep into the emotional realm, plumbing the depths of long held beliefs and outgrown inherited ways of viewing the world.
A Memorial Service will take place on Saturday November 2, 2024, at 11am at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleboro with reception to follow. The service will livestream here for those who cannot attend in person.
Note: The church calendar contains some events that are not open to everyone, so that we can plan for building use. Open events are shown on the home page. Click on an event to show the full description.
