We hold to a tough rule: every neighbor matters.
It is a daily practice. It means something different in this valley today than it did fifty years ago, but the core work is the same. It takes effort to build a town where neighbors are treated right.
Where have you seen someone step up to treat another person well this week—at a store, a school, or a town meeting?

In the 1970s, the Unitarian churches in Mendon and Uxbridge already shared ministers. Neither town could keep a full life alone for much longer.

In 1978, they joined Sunday services. In 1985, they locked it in as one congregation, though each town kept its historic building.

It was a blunt choice to keep the doors open by leaning on each other.

Where else in our towns have you seen neighbors team up because they had to?

Some of the best truths never make it into a hymn book.
We take good ideas from folk records, protest songs, and kitchen tables.
If you have ever learned more from a song lyric than a sermon, you will fit in here.

What song keeps teaching you something, even if no one calls it religious?

Photo is of Bob Dylan, a Folk singer of protest songs sitting at a kitchen table. 😁

We start meeting again Sunday,
September 13 · 10:30am ·
Peter Coffin will deliver the service.

Late August in the Blackstone Valley means
the light is shifting and the woods are starting to dry out.

We talk a lot in our church about how everything connects.
Strip away the big words, and it just means you cannot separate
who you are from the place you live.
The land shapes the neighbors.

Where is your spot in the Valley to walk when you need to clear your head?

May 18, 1936. Lightning hit the Mendon meetinghouse.

By most accounts it should have been gone. The ceiling took the worst of it. The bill to put things right ran about $12,000 ($288,000 in today’s money), but this was during the Depression.

Insurance helped. So did neighbors. Townspeople donated toward the rebuild even though the church was no longer a ward of town government.

Our community has been practicing “show up to help” longer than any of us have been alive.

What’s a place in the Blackstone Valley you’d hate to see disappear, and who would you call if it needed saving?

We’ve been discussing the big questions in downtown Mendon on Maple Street since 1820, and we’re still at it.

This is the point of liberal religion: a free and responsible search for truth that keeps going after the sermon.

What is one question you keep asking?
