On Sunday, October 15th, we will be welcoming back, Rev Paul Langston-Daley to The Unitarian Church in Fall River at 309 North Main Street, Fall River. Our service starts at 10:30 AM.  Our sermon this week is "Both Sides of the Fence"- What does it mean to belong? Many of us struggle at times in our lives to be seen, honored and loved for who we are, especially those who identify as transgender, or outside the binary. Today we explore what it means to find a place where one can live in community, with authenticity and integrity.

The Unitarian Church will be opening its doors on September 3rd with the Rev Richard Trudeau leading our service. The topic of the service is "Why Be Good? Unitarian Universalism's Two Contradictory Answers." We seem to be unable to avoid this question, and unable to answer it. We have been taught to be kind, to love our neighbors. But, always in the background, is the lingering question, "Why Be Good?" Come to our first service at 10:30 AM on Sunday, September 3rd and just maybe you will find the answer. Immediately, following the service, join us for our Pot Luck Lunch.

His sermon is titled, "Enoughness" How can we cultivate "enoughness" for all and deepen our own sense of gratitude?
Interesting and thought provoking topics continue to be explored every week at the Unitarian Church.
