As we enter African American History Month, Rev. Allen will discuss some of our own legacy with race and racism, and ask where we have gotten over the years. Our focus on racial justice in our neighborhood has been pushed to the side by our recent attention to immigrant peoples and needs (also an important and worthy cause), but racial inequity should still demand our attention.
Open Discussion of Proposed Changes to UUA By-Laws, Article II
After Church TODAY (will be repeated if there is demand). The proposed changes alter the language describing our UU religious tradition, moving from the current Principles and Sources to a new statement framed by Values and Inspirations. Much is similar, much is changed. The proposal will be voted up or down at the UUA General Assembly in June 2024. The topic has been described several times from our pulpit, but this session is an opportunity to open up discussion, deal with personal reaction, and chew on the ideas in play.

February 11, 2024The title of today's message, "To Believe in this Living Is Just a Hard Way to Go," is a line from Angel from Montgomery, a song written by John Prine and sung by Bonnie Raitt. What does it take to believe in this living, and what makes it a hard way to go?

Interestingly, most of us seem rather philosophical about the prospect that our own lives will end, but quite emotional about the potential death of those dearest to us. How do we envision death?
How do we come to terms with its inevitability? In addition to the feeling-thinking aspects of dying, Rev. Allen will also touch on some of the practical things we should do to prepare for our own dying.Childcare and religious education are available during services.
The Beverly Unitarian Church welcomes people of every religious background, race, ethnicity, age, gender, and sexual and affectional orientation.Indoor services or join livestream on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87881929342?pwd=c0Q1VlpPWG- tadG90M0M1KytCQ0tJdz09

February 25, 2024For better or for worse, uncertainty is our lifelong companion. We can never know what will happen to us next. This not knowing can be deeply uncomfortable. Must we travel together this way throughout life? Or can we make friends with our companion and embrace the improvisational adventure of our uncertain path.
