Seeds for the New Year

Led by Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt and UUA staff

Our Unitarian Universalist Association staff put together this service to mark the beginning of this new year. We’ll hear from our new UUA president, Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt and many others as they ask: What seeds are you planting for the new year? How are you weaving magic into your relationships with others? How can we center beauty and goodness and love in all that’s ahead?

This service will be held in the sanctuary and on Zoom:

Book Group

Our next book group meeting will be February 9 at 7pm at Central One Bank, 40 South Street, Westborough. The book this month is Our Missing Hearts, by Celeste Ng. Our Missing Hearts is a contemporary dystopian fiction novel by New York Times best-selling author Celeste Ng. Published in 2022, it is a reaction to the fears and racism in America following the COVID-19 pandemic. The novel follows two protagonists, Bird and his mother Margaret, as they navigate an oppressive society that victimizes them due to their Asian identity.

Please contact Susie Wells with any questions: [email protected]. All are welcome!

30 Days of Love 2024

Imagining an Interdependent Future

JANUARY 15 - FEBRUARY 14, 2024

Side With Love is thrilled to announce 30 Days of Love 2024! Our annual month of spiritual nourishment, political grounding, and shared practices of faith and justice, 30 Days of Love will go from Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (January 15) through Valentine’s Day (February 14). Each week’s resources will be published by 12pm ET every Monday.

This year’s 30 Days of Love is a gift to our whole community: a love letter, a warm hug, a spiritual balm for all of the individuals, families, religious professionals, partners and communities that embody our values and work for justice and liberation year round. Each week will feature a spiritual theme overlapping with one of Side With Love’s intersectional justice priorities, and we'll share an array of offerings to help nourish your spirit and give gratitude and affirmation.
