We welcome all visitors, friends old and new, to the Unitarian

Church in Fall River. We do not have a doctrine to which all

adhere, nor is it finite. We can and should be learning,

changing, and exploring. Life teaches, or presents us, with

opportunities and challenges to which we must respond. We

need to develop inner strength or personal philosophies to help

us live these moments to the fullest of our capabilities. Through

a sense of spirit or a spiritual life, we can expand and enhance

our time of being. One way to do this is to learn from the

wisdom of those who have gone before us – the resources of

the ages. Another way is to share our experiences and

revelations with our fellow seekers.

Our Service On Sunday Morning Starts at 10:30 AM

The front entrance is the only door to be accessible,

leading directly into the sanctuary; the community

Everyone will be requested to wear a mask and socially

This week’s sermon, "Building Paradise" shares a few examples about the human urge to build paradise. We will attempt to simulcast our service via Zoom. For those participating by Zoom, the experience will be different than previously. The hymns and other material will not be on the screen, and those present in the sanctuary will not be able to see or hear you. If you have an Announcement or a Joy or Concern to share, you should communicate it in advance to someone who will be physically present.

The Zoom link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82879461348 and the passcode is  FallRiver (no space).

To join by phone, call 1 646 876 9923.   The meeting ID is 828 7946 1348 and the passcode is 556537114
