Our next Service is Sunday, May 24th, at 9:30 am: "Annual Remembrance Service" led by the Cares and Concerns Committee

This Sunday, the Cares and Concerns Committee will lead our annual Remembrance Service. We will share thoughts and prayers about our loved ones. If you wish, you may speak briefly about someone who has died, either recently or in the past. (To give everyone a chance to speak, please limit your words to 3 minutes or less.) There will be a table in the center of our circle on which you may place a memento of someone who has passed. At the close of the service, we will go out to the back lawn for music around the maypole.

Our next Service is this Sunday, April 26th, at 9:30 am: "We are Not the Water, We are the Faucet: Exploring Transformation, Part 2" with Julia Davenport

Following up on last October's service on the topic of transformation, we will take a second look at faith as an aspect of consciousness and reflect on how we can help ourselves, and each other, along the path of transformation. We will re-engage with some of the practical tools shared in the Fall and explore how they can support us.

Our next Service is this Sunday, March 22nd, at 9:30 am: "Annual Poetry Service" led by Ann Bonanno and Danielle Theirry

Throughout life, we often turn to words to help us keep going--especially in the darkest of times. Poems, especially, can serve as meditations for staying grounded, celebrating moments of joy, or honoring deep grief, calls to action for continued pushing, and connectors for bridging gaps and building solidarity. As usual, we'll invite folks to share a poem, and we'll also write a group poem.

Our next Service is this Sunday, March 8th, at 9:30 am: “Reaching Out” with Rev. Austin Hornyak

Reaching out to others requires a set of skills that we can learn and practice just like any other life skill. It also takes courage. In this time of ever-increasing division in our country, what are some of the practical ways we are reaching out to make meaningful connections that foster community?

Our next Service is this Sunday, Feb. 22nd, at 9:30 am: "Courageous Authenticity" with Jean Archibald and Deb Chisholm

Courageous authenticity is more than a concept or philosophy. It is the practice of being honest about who you are, what you feel, and what you need – even when it feels uncomfortable, risky, or vulnerable. Through this practice, we learn to live with greater integrity, compassion, and self-trust.

Fellowship youth member Bri Merrill spearheaded an effort to make Valentine’s Day treats for seniors in our community. Residents at Mansfield Place in Essex will each receive a sweet little bag of homemade cookies, decorated for the holiday with glaze and sparkle. And there’s a tray for the staff as well!

Our next Service is this Sunday, Jan. 25th, at 9:30 am: "Embracing the Flood: on the Confluence of Science, Art and Faith" with Gretchen Alexander

Artist and ecologist, Gretchen Alexander, will talk with us about how she stepped away from a career in the natural sciences to pursue a calling as an artist, how reframing hardship through the lens of opportunity facilitated personal growth and positive change for her, and some of her thoughts on the intersection of science, art, and revelation.

Our next Service is this Sunday, Jan. 11th, at 9:30 am: "A Diversity of Opinions" with Dorothy Latta

Unitarian Universalists practice Freedom of the Pulpit, meaning that anyone who provides a Sunday message may speak from their personal perspective and belief; the message is not dictated or constrained by denominational beliefs or doctrine. And on the other side, there is Freedom of the Pew, meaning that those who are listening may agree or disagree with the message. So how do we create a Beloved Community with this challenge of finding common ground amid our differing beliefs?

12/20/2025

Mount Mansfield Unitarian Universalist Fellowship invites children, families, and friends of all ages to join us for our annual Christmas Eve service on December 24th at 4:00 p.m. in our beloved "barn" sanctuary at 195 Route 15 in Jericho, VT, or on Zoom.

This year, we'll celebrate our shared humanity and care for each other with our theme of "being a light in the darkness." Join us for readings and a no-rehearsal nativity pageant interspersed with sing-along Christmas carols and songs performed by our "Last Minute Choir." We welcome folks of all ages to be part of our no-rehearsal pageant as angels, animals, shepherds, and wise people. And we'll close the service with our tradition of lighting candles and singing Silent Night. All are welcome!
