We are born of motion and energy, chaos and cooperation.

In her General Assembly Ingathering message, Gail Forsyth-Vail invites us to remember a profound truth: from the earliest moments of life on Earth, survival has depended on adaptation, relationship, and mutuality.

"We are born of motion and energy and chaos and danger and cooperation. This is our inheritance."

We send our unwavering support for Unitarian Universalists (UU) in uniform and our UU military chaplains. We recently learned the Department of Defense (DOD) has removed 180 separate religious affiliations from the US military’s list of religious affiliation codes. This eliminates the code for Unitarian Universalists, as well as Humanists, Atheists and Pagan traditions, and many others. Along with dozens of other religious traditions, UUs will be categorized broadly under “Other” in military’s religious affiliation codes.

Please note this decision does not directly impact the status of our UU military chaplains, who are authorized through a separate faith-based endorsement process with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). What it does mean is that Unitarian Universalist service members will not be able to select their specific religious identity in their personnel records. This may make it more difficult for our uniformed UUs to access the spiritual care that they need.

At this time, we are diligently working with our UUA counsel and partners in a variety of faith traditions to craft a strategic response that faithfully represents our values and demonstrates clear support for our UU service members and their families, as well as all those who are impacted by this DOD policy.

We will share more information when it is available. But today, we declare that no government action can erase our faith nor lessen the powerful and necessary grounding it provides for those who serve.

Cheers to the new Unitarian Universalist Congregation in the Assabet Valley (UUCAV)!

A new chapter begins for two local Unitarian Universalist congregations. This past Sunday, congregations from both First Parish Church of Stow & Acton and Unitarian Church of Marlborough and Hudson took a historic vote to formally merge as one congregation, effective July 1.

Our members come from across the Assabet River valley—Acton, Bolton, Hudson, Marlborough, Maynard, and Stow. Our new name reflects that shared connection—Unitarian Universalist Congregation in the Assabet Valley (UUCAV).

Together, we carry forward long traditions of welcoming people of all backgrounds and faiths, while building something stronger for the future. Our combined congregation base will be the historic building at 353 Great Road in Stow. In the coming year, we’re excited to offer new services, programs, music, and opportunities to connect—on Sunday mornings and throughout the week. All are welcome, come join us!
