Such a treat starting up the new church year, with bells of enthusiasm ringing from every direction! The Chalice Choir is off and singing with 24 registrants. The Music Committee has compiled a large list of concerts and music related gatherings, most of them noted on the church calendar. The decision to have a monthly “family-friendly” service opens the doors to more music for children’s programming. And the beat goes on for our monthly Song Circle on the second Friday evening of each month.
We care about the interdependent web of life and taking care of one another. 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!
The Cash in the Plate for the first two weeks in October will be donated to the Salvation Army for Hurricane Helene Relief.
The Cash in the Plate for the last two weeks of October will be donated to the South Shore Resource and Advocacy Center (SSRAC). October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Members of the congregation gathered around the new Peace Pole on the church lawn early Sunday afternoon, September 15, with district and local Rotary Club officers and the Middleboro Veterans Agent, to dedicate the pole to the cause of peace.
Please plan to join us this fall! Registration is recommended, but not required for your children to attend classes. We use the registration to help us understand the children in class, their needs and any allergies they may bring.

Welcome to the start of an exciting church year! The Parish Committee has been working with our new Minister, Rev. Beau Rivers, to outline goals and plans for the coming year. We face challenges – attracting and keeping new members, streamlining our administrative functions and organizational structure, raising money for necessary repairs to the building, among others – but we can make headway on all of these goals if YOU get involved.
Greetings UU Middleboro! As your new minister, I look forward to greeting you warmly as we gather Sunday, September 8th to celebrate the start of the new church year and the beginning of our shared ministry! I want to thank members of the Search Committee (Jim Bonnar, Vi Fairweather, Lois Aldrich, Andrea Priest, and David Kraemer) for their tireless dedication in the search process and for recommending me to the Board as your next minister.
What a wondrous feeling to be gearing up for a new church year, full of promise and possibility! In addition to worship, there will be workshops, concerts, fundraisers, caroling, Music Sunday, and Song Circles (second Friday of each month.) We have many fine performers in our music program, singers and instrumentalists. Our first goal is to build a musical community that gives us connection not only to one another, but to the spirit of love, awe, and generosity. Alleluia!
