What About Assisted Dying?

Unitarian Universalists have no general religious prohibition against assisted dying. But we do have specific ethical and religious questions about how assisted dying works in actual practice. We explore some of these questions, and maybe figure out what we think and feel about the subject. (Based on several conversations with First Parish members.]

Intergenerational Worship: Water Ritual

The annual water ritual is our chance to reconnect after summer. Please bring a small amount of water that represents your summer. (It doesn’t have to be actual water from an actual place; you can use tap water.) This ritual symbolizes how we come together, each bringing our separate lives to our First Parish community.

Reading of the Declaration of Independence

All are welcome at this annual favorite as we read these important and powerful words that shape the foundation of our country and our history.  Please note, this begins our “summer services” which take place each Sunday at 9:00 am.

Religious Liberals Around the World

We Unitarian Universalists are religious liberals — that is, we believe in freedom of thought, the use of reason, tolerance of other worldviews, and the value of each human being. But there are many other religious liberals around the world, and we’ll meet some of them through readings and poetry.
