The Unitarian Fellowship of Peterborough welcomes you – just as you are – to our community. Whether you are looking for an open-minded faith community, a place to explore and question, or a place for your children to find their own religious path, I invite you to gather with us. Together, we learn as we search for truth. Together, we celebrate life’s gifts and share our burdens. Together, as a multigenerational and diverse community, we work toward peace and justice.

Multigenerational Ingathering Water Ceremony
In his poem, “The Way It Is”, William Stafford suggests that amidst change, there remains a thread – something that doesn’t change. While we hold this thread, we can’t get lost, and as a community, we continually weave the threads that hold us and sustain us. Bring a bit of water from your life to add to our common bowl.
Roots hold me close, wings set me free. Our annual theme this year is designed to help us more deeply understand and connect with our roots in order that we might be prepared to fly. Don’t miss this introductory exploration.

Note: Book sale and “parking lot potluck” to follow the service
Music by The Occasional Singers
Continuing with our annual theme, we’ll take a close look at our history. Were we conceived in 1961, or can we trace our heritage much further? What do we take from our past that informs and creates our future?
