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.

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.
