Sermon: "The Six Sources: A Recipe for Your UU Faith"
Unitarian Universalists give plenty of attention to the Seven Principles, as well they should. But the bylaws of our denomination also state that we affirm and promote Six Sources that inform our "living tradition." This service will not only inform you about the lesser-known Six Sources but also explore and celebrate the way they can be drawn upon in myriad combinations to produce an infinite variety of UU faiths among the members of our congregations.
This service will also be live streamed for those unable to attend. On Friday, the link to watch it on Zoom will be provided here.

Trick or Treat for UNICEF
It's a Beverly Unitarian Church tradition that our children Trick or Treat for UNICEF on the Sunday before Halloween. Normally, all the kids show up in costume and head for 103rd & Longwood Drive to solicit Starbucks and CVS shoppers and every passer by they spot, shaking their little orange boxes for donations. This year was different; only three young people showed up (Carolyn Wilbon, Teddy Bernard as Rocky, Gavin Cottrill as the dice and our Religious Education Director, Amanda Price, the OWL. Undaunted, they headed down the hill and had a very fun and lucrative morning. Thank you, generous donors, and of course, our determined children and their fearless leader. Visit our Facebook page to see them in action.
