SUNDAY Morning Service ~ Oct 17 10:30 AM
Sunday Service IN PERSON & LIVE STREAMED on Zoom (link below)
We are meeting in person in the church parking lot. If you are unable to bring your own chair, we will provide one for you.
Rev. Allen Harden
Sermon: "Our Cathedral of Everything"
Wonder, awe, and mind-blowing mystery. The natural order and process of our universe is the greatest religious story. We constantly engage what is sacred – in us and around us – and we can benefit by holding the presence of nature, and our presence in nature, in reverence. How can we not feel humility, respect, and graciousness for the privilege of being alive?

Christmas Tree Sale Extended
Last weekend the snow fell... and fell... and continued to fall. Winter wonderland vistas were everywhere, including on our Christmas Tree lot. The trees are beautiful and looking for a good home so our 4 day sale has become our five day sale. Help us have another sell out year and or stop by to lend a hand to the cold volunteers.
Saturday, December 17 from 11 AM until 5 PM

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.
