What makes a good friend? Part of being a good friend means sharing with others and letting them share with us. Come and share today what you think is important for being a good friend and learn about what others feel is needed for friendship.
Unitarian Universalism has been described as “a covenantal faith”, based on promises of action rather than adherent to a specific faith. Here at Thomas Paine we begin many business meetings by reading our “Covenant of Good Relations” (tpuuf.org/about-us/covenant-of-good-relations). What does living in covenant with others mean? More importantly, what happens when our promise of love … Continue reading A Promise of Love
When asked about Unitarian Universalism, it is normal to reference the 7 Principles – those essential ideas which help to define us as a religion.

Please join us … Continue reading The Wonder of Mysticism

Along with considering the spiritual, mental and physical benefits of gratitude, particularly in challenging … Continue reading Let UUs All Be Grateful for…A Change
