“Poetry Sunday” – Five Points Cluster Shared Worship Service hosted by Foxborough Universalist Church

 

UUFoxborough - Foxborough Universalist Church, UUAThe Five Points Cluster congregations choose a specific Sunday once every month or so where we gather to share worship together at one of our churches. It is a wonderful way to experience different kinds of worship, get to know our neighbors and siblings in faith, and offer hospitality to one another.

Topic:  “Poetry Sunday”

During Poetry Sunday, congregants and friends from Five Points Cluster churches share poems that inspire them and provide meaning to their life.

Worship Service begins at 10:00 a.m., in-person at Foxborough Universalist Church and on-line through Zoom.
