Adrienne Williams presenting HABARI GANI! ; Celebrating Kwanzaa Amidst the Virulent Practice of Book Banning and Deliberate Distortion of History The service includes personal reflections on Kwanzaa's educational and social impact on a people and a nation. There is true cause for celebrating its beginnings and expanding its reach. As always, there will be shared words and communal singing! Adrienne Williams is a retired educator, human services professional, national consultant, and a longtime member of this congregation. Since 2017 she has played Sojourner Truth and Pauli Murray in We Did It For You!  Women's Journey Through History, a play by Dr. Thea Iberall.

The second New Moon of December falls in the sign of Capricorn and is known as a Black Moon. Some consider this a particularly auspicious time to set intentions and believe that things set in motion under a Black Moon will be looked upon with special favor.  In any case, standing as we are on the threshold of a new year, an additional thrust of energy seems welcome.

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
