If you are looking for a spiritual home, come in and experience our open minds, open hearts, and open doors. For over 125 years, the First Unitarian Universalist Society has been serving individuals and families in Middleboro and surrounding towns with great music, meaningful and thought-provoking sermons, and opportunities to give back. We are committed to spiritual growth and lifelong learning with religious exploration that promotes creativity, integrity, and compassion.  We work together to build a world that is more loving and more just for all people.

We are a place of growth and creativity! 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!  Registration is rolling throughout the year and is available here. Religious Exploration Registration Form (google.com) Kelly Lownds, Director of Religious Exploration

The youth will be meeting twice a month. “We encourage one another’s search for truth and meaning.  We strive to be active in peace-making and other efforts to improve the world.”  (uua.org)   The youth will also be encouraged to be engaged with “Sustainable Middleboro.”

The mission of the Social Justice Team of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleborough is to help the congregation take actions that create positive change in people, in our communities and in the world.  Unitarian Universalism is a covenantal theology of engagement.  We covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of all people and to promote respect for the interdependent web of creation of which we are a part.  We draw inspiration and truth from experiencing each other and the world around us.  We witness both the beauty and brokenness of our world, and we choose to do social justice

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.  The Hand Crafters Group is meeting the third Thursday of every month from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Avis Clay Parlor

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 with any questions.
