Covenant 

    Love is the doctrine of this church

    The quest for truth is its sacrament

    And service is its prayer.

    To dwell together in peace,

    To seek knowledge in freedom,

    To serve humanity in fellowship,

    To the end that all souls shall grow

    Into harmony with the divine:

    Thus do we covenant together.

Sharing of Joys and Concerns 

Wait and see, wait and see what a world there can be if we share, if we care, you and me…

Brown Envelope Collection

During our lay-led services in July and August, including Labor Day Weekend, the Brown Envelope collections will go to the Summer Youth Programs of the UU Urban Ministry in Roxbury (UUUM.org). You can send in a check to the UCS church with a memo BE Summer 2021, or donate via our website, or pay directly to the Urban Ministry at their website.
