“Eight Is Enough”

May 30, 2021

We considered the proposed new 8th Principle for the UUA with “Eight Is Enough”. The proposed 8th Principle is: “We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.”

“All We Kindred Pilgrim Souls?”

May 16, 2021

As we have talked about over the years, our congregation is (strange as it may seem) descended from the Puritans. You might recall that the Pilgrims (or “Separatists”) who landed in Plymouth in 1620 are a particular subset of the Puritans. For our Auction Sermon, our own church historian, Joyce Williams, has asked me some interesting questions. Namely, How did the Separatists (or Pilgrims) of Plymouth Colony and the Puritans of Boston get along? Did they merge? I found some interesting information to share, and some thoughts about what we might learn from it all.

“Earth Day Alleluia”

April 18, 2021

This was our online-only “Earth Day Sunday” service. If you watch on YouTube, click “show more” to see the Order of Service. This was also Share the Plate Sunday, and our special offering went to the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA) of Lowell.

“Solstice/Yule Service”

December 20, 2020

On December 20, 2020, we had a special service in honor of the Winter Solstice and Yule. Normally this celebration takes place on the Saturday night before the solstice, but due to the pandemic we decided to have this for our Sunday morning offering instead.

“Giving Thanks in All Things”

November 22, 2020

On November 22, 2020, our virtual service featured our traditional Cornbread Communion, led by our Deacons. My homily was “Giving Thanks in All Things”. We also had virtual greetings from FCU members and friends far and wide. If you watch on YouTube, click on “Show More” to see the Order of Service.

“Do You Believe in Magic?”

November 18, 2020

On November 18, 2020, our guest preacher was FCU member Lori Locascio, who preached a sermon and created a service based on a UUA General Assembly workshop on magic by UU ministerial candidate Rob Kinslow that inspired her. If you watch on YouTube, click on “Show More”, and you’ll see the Order of Service and blue time stamps.

“Listening to the Animals: In Honor of St. Francis”

October 4, 2020

Starting the October Soul Matters theme of “deep listening”, we considered what we can learn from listening to the animals, on the Feast Day (in the Christian tradition) of St. Francis of Assisi. If you watch on YouTube, click on “show more” and you will see the Order of Service as well as blue time stamps that enable you to move to various worship elements.
