Hello to all of our family and friends,
On Sunday, February 14th, Mary Trainor-Brigham will join us as our guest minister. Our sermon will be “Becoming Nature's Valentine: Romance, Chivalry, and Beyond”. Won’t you join us?
Mary has served as a Colleague~in~the~Ministry for the UU Churches of Northborough and Westborough, undertaking all the usual Ministerial duties such as Sunday Services and Pastoral Care as well as designing ongoing classes on such topics as Male vs Female Initiation, Sacred Ecology, and Canticle to the Cosmos.
After that, she traveled as a Pulpit Guest throughout New England.
As a Therapist at the Houses of Affirmation in Whitinsville and Hopedale, she was Director of Psycho-Spiritual Programming, including the design and ministerial implementation of Sunday Services.
For a number of years, she worked with her husband, Ciaran, a former Ashram monk, facilitating Sunday Ceremonies for a population of Seniors at a housing center in Kennebunk, Maine.
In addition to her Therapeutic credentials, she also earned a Masters degree in Culture & Spirituality, where her focus was how our modern World can benefit from Worldwide Indigenous Wisdom.
Alongside these engagements was employment as a Film Columnist for which shewas nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in Distinguished Criticism. She also has experience in film-making itself with such clients as the BBC and the Smithsonian. Her passion for Native Cultures and love of film are combined in her book, "DEEP CINEMA Film as Shamanic Initiation".
She is currently writing a weekly series of brief homilies to be presented vis a YouTube Channel (as soon as she achieves the requisite techno skills!) : "Sea Sanctuary Sunday Sermons".
Please remember that our address is 309 North Main Street, Fall River, MA 02720 and that we have a secure drop box at the front of church building, so that you can keep up with your pledges and donations in support of our church.

Hope to see you next week. And, as always, if you no longer want to receive these notices, let me know and I will remove your email address. If you know of anyone who would like to join us, send them a copy of this email and let me know that you did.
