We have had a traditional New England winter this year, so the arrival of Springtime is especially welcome. It is one of two times each year when the hours of light and the hours of dark are equal in length, reminding us both of the duality of our world and the importance of balance.

Our RE Committee meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. We meet at the church, and new members are welcome. You do not need a child participating in the RE program to join, just ideas and a love of our youth. Please consider volunteering to teach downstairs for a section of our program. We also need volunteers to help with plays and skits during the year as well as readers for our Message for All Ages during the service. Please contact dre@uumiddleboro.org if you are interested.
The youth meets 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.”
