Rev. Beau Rivers preaching Join us for our annual ingathering serviceWhen we reflect on our Summer blessings and welcomethe start of the new church year with ourtraditional Water Ceremony.* *Everyone is invited to bring a sample of water from a place that nurtured your spirit this summer to pour in our Common Bowl. A pitcher of church water will also be available for our virtual participants and anyone who did not collect or forgot to bring a sample of water to church, so all who wish, may participate. The Chalice Choir will be singing River of Peace.

Members of this team are trained to offer lay pastoral counseling. They may also provide meals; visits; phone calls; cards; transportation to medical appointments, the grocery store, church, or social outings; help with yard work; music; or respite/break time for caregivers. Contact: Susan Curtiss

The Chalice Choir is a volunteer group that meets in the Parish Hall on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30. This choir sings every other Sunday from a wide variety of choral anthems, most set in four parts: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. Membership is open but limited. Please contact Susan Hotchkiss for more information.

Please submit your Order of Service information to office@uumiddleboro.org by 12:00 noon.

The Meditation Group meets every Wednesday afternoon in the church parlor to practice quiet meditation. It is open to those new to meditation as well as experienced meditators. Contact: Holly Begley or Diane Reed

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!

Our RE Committee meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m.  We meet at the church, and new members are welcome.  You do not need a child participating in the RE program to join, just ideas and a love of our youth.  Please consider volunteering to teach downstairs for a section of our program. We also need volunteers to help with plays and skits during the year as well as readers for our Message for All Ages during the service. Please contact dre@uumiddleboro.org if you are interested.

There will be a Building & Grounds Committee Meeting in the Church Parlor. This team ensures a warm, welcoming, and safe place for worship and fellowship. Lend your practical skills to keep our building and landscaping attractive, in good repair, and accessible. All interested are invited. Alan Melchior

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.

We continue scheduling weekly ½ hour vigils on Saturday mornings from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon on the church lawn.  All are invited to join in.  Contact Dody Adkins-Perry (adkinsperry@gmail.com) with any questions.
