“Blessings on Your Journey”

Religious Services Committee

As we go from community to our own separate journey over the summer, whether they be far or near, we consider the journey, what it means, how to deepen it, and what we will bring back to the whole when we come together again in September. We will explore this theme through poetry; including a recitation by our own prize-winning poet reciter, Ava Beringer. This service will be broadcast from the sanctuary via zoom without an in person congregation.

Update on Summer Services 

At present, there are two services scheduled for the summer months.


July 17 - A replay of the UUA General Assembly service from the GA taking place in Portland, OR, "Meet the Moment: Reimagining Radical Faith Community."


August 14 - Marty Langlois will lead a sharing service.


If anyone wants to offer to create and lead a summer service during the months of July and August, please contact Jennifer Revill or anyone on the Religious Services Committee and we will help with planning and tech support.

From the Board


At a meeting of the new board held after the annual meeting on June 5th, Andrea Kaiser was re-elected as Northshore UU Church Board Chair and Susan Haas was elected Vice Chair. They are both looking forward to serving the congregation in this pivotal new fiscal year.

In Memoriam          D. Elaine Chipman

Dorothy Elaine Chipman, passed away peacefully on May 28th, 2022 at 88 years of age at Brooksby Village in Peabody MA. Elaine was the wife of the late Charles D. Chipman, M.D., the stepmother of Remembrance, Stewart and Brook Chipman.


Elaine was born in Trenton NJ and raised in Belmont MA where she graduated from Belmont High School, class of 1951, and from University of Maine, class of 1955. After college Elaine worked as a clinical laboratory associate at the Malden Hospital.

Elaine and her husband Don enjoyed gardening around their house in Winchester Massachusetts, acting in community theater, and spending time at their summer house on Nantucket. Elaine was an accomplished artist working in multiple mediums (painting & quilting) who was active in several local art associations.


Elaine will always remain in our hearts and minds as the bright, humorous, industrious, and caring person that she was. Expressions of sympathy can be made to the American Parkinson’s Disease Association, 135 Parkinson Ave, Staten Island, NY 10305.

Afghanistan Refugee Family

A family who escaped from Afghanistan after US pulled out our forces has settled in Beverly. The father was involved in security for US military forces and he is here with his wife, who will soon have their third child, and two preschool sons. The local organization supporting them as they settle into life in the United States is eager to talk to our congregation about the family’s experience coming to this country and their needs as they start new lives here. Stay tuned for information about when this will occur. They need financial support as they begin their journey, and we will be letting you know how Northshore Church can help.
