The Cash in the Plate for the month of June is donated to the NAACP Brockton Branch, one of our main partners.  Their mission is to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial discrimination.        

Community Book Box 

First Unitarian Universalist Society of Middleborough  Tony Chiuppi and his crew from Middleboro High School built our new Book Box in collaboration with the Middleboro Rotary Club. Mr. Chiuppi’s crew managed the excavation and mounting of the Book Box at Tony’s direction. At a future date, the Rotary Wheel will be added to the Book Box. 

A Note from the Minister

As I write this, the month of May is coming to a close and June is just a few days away.  Our June worship services promise to be celebratory as we recognize the work of our Religious Exploration program, Pride Sunday, and, of course, Celebration Sunday itself, before we move towards closing the books on the 2022-23 church year and the beginning of a well-planned series of summer services.

Summer Music Musings

Many kudos to the many singers and instrumentalists who came together to present Requiem by John Rutter on Music Sunday, May 21st. This was our first in-person Music Sunday since spring 2019 – that’s four years ago! Our 2019 program was ambitious, but this year’s surpassed it! It was hard, rewarding work—and for me, pure pleasure bringing a masterwork to life for a worship experience.
