We are now on our summer break!
Services will start again on 16th August so watch this space for details.
Have a lovely holiday and we hope the sun shines for you!
Anybody want to be clever and tell us the name of this poem about summer?
Better still if you have a few favourite lines about summer let us know in the comments- or a summer picture. We don't mind!

"And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

A message from Liz Slade, the Chief Officer of the General Assembly, in solidarity with the Universalist Association

"As the Chief Officer of the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches in the UK, I send a message of solidarity to our friends and colleagues in the Unitarian Universalist community in the USA in response to the news that the Department of Defense has taken the decision to remove Unitarian Universalism, along with dozens of other faith and belief identities, from their religious affiliation codes.

"This is not the first time we have had cause to speak. In our 2025 General Assembly resolution, our membership expressed concern about the increasingly authoritarian direction of the Trump administration; this decision is a troubling extension of that pattern.

"Our global family of faith has stood for centuries for principles of religious freedom, and any act by a government body to reduce recognition of religious bodies is concerning. I know from conversations with congregations across the UK that this concern is widely shared, and that many UK Unitarians want to extend their support to our friends and colleagues in the UUA.

"We stand by all faith and belief groups that have had their rights limited by this reduction in religious expression. Our shared roots with the Unitarian Universalist community mean this change is particularly concerning. The UK General Assembly is headquartered in Essex Hall, the site of the first explicitly Unitarian congregation to meet in this country, in 1774 - where Benjamin Franklin worshiped, alongside other Unitarian and dissenting Christian thinkers like Joseph Priestley and Richard Price, who played a key role in influencing the formation of the United States of America. Unitarian ideas of religious and civil liberty are bound up in the history of the USA and it is concerning to see this tradition made less visible.

"We support the Unitarian Universalist Association as they support UU service members, their families and all others who are affected by this change from the Department of Defense."

Sharing details of this worthwhile event coming up in Aberdeen next week.

21/05/26 from 1900 at triplekirks in Aberdeen.

If you know someone who this could benefit. Let them know.

Empty Chairs is a simple idea.

Book a table, leave a few empty chairs and make it easy for anyone to join for a chat (the host will be wearing something orange so you can easily spot them)!

Empty Chairs isn’t a club or a therapy session, it’s just a friendly table where you can sit down, feel welcomed and chat.

It exists to create connection. There is no need to sign up and no pressure to spend money or stay longer than you want to.

It’s a very simple idea to make life feel a little less lonely.
