As Unitarian Universalists, we are people of a covenant. But what does that mean? It’s an important but confusing idea, one that sounds nice and is difficult to practice. This service will use the UUA’s recent commission on appraisal report titled “Unlocking the Power of Covenant” to help us do just that.

Dear UUCSW,

The start of the new church year seems to always feel like a whirlwind – the space between Water Communion and “oh it’s October!” is a blur of activity. With our efforts to navigate Covid safety, build hybrid service technology, re-launch the year’s programs, and hire a Religious Educator, this September was definitely a blur.

UUCSW is planning to restart our Small Group Pods this fall! We currently have two tentatively scheduled - the 4th Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm, and the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm. To join either of these pods, or to propose an additional meeting time, please click here for our Pods Sign-Up Form.

Book Group will meet on 10/8 at 7:00 pm on Zoom to discuss The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. Please join us. The group is open to all.

The Racial Justice Committee will be meeting regularly on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm. The next meeting is 10/14. Meetings are currently on Zoom at: zoom.us/j/81349801673.

October's SMOC Food and Clothing Drive collection is 10/28 from 4:30 to 5:45 pm.

This event will mark the completion of the first trail in our network that is accessible to everyone. Through the support of a MassTrails grant and more than 1,000 hours of volunteer time, the Westborough Community Land Trust has finished a ¼ mile loop around Gilmore Pond! The trail has been surfaced with firm stone dust, bridging, boardwalks, and a continuous hand rope to ensure that this lovely spot can be enjoyed by everyone. Our grand opening event will include a short dedication followed by a guided walk along the wheelchair and stroller-friendly path. Come and share in our excitement to open this truly unique community resource. Meet at the Gilmore Pond Trail Entrance, GPS address approximately 19 Quick Farm Road, Westborough. Park along one side of Quick Farm Road. Click here for the trail map. Check the calendar on WCLT's website for events in November and beyond!
