‘Come with whatever seed of faith you can muster, and listen…’ -Enfleshed Liturgies

Foxborough Universalist Church members and friends will be participating in this year’s Foxborough Founders Day! Look for the “Love Is Love Is Love Is Love Is Love” banner 🙂
Get Your Body Groove On!
We’ll dance our way to deeper joy and health by viewing segments from a video exercise program known as “Body Groove.” This program is diverse in representing and honoring all body types and abilities and is diverse by race and age as well! You should always consult your physician before trying this, and we’ll have a release to sign, and exercising from chairs also is welcome. It’s lots of fun to try!
Contact Rev. Dr. Michelle Walsh at minister@fpuucanton.org for more information and to sign up in advance as desired, though walk-ins also can be accommodated! Transportation through the Town of Canton’s Senior Center also is possible in our partnership with them!

Event will also include music and elements of our traditional First Parish worship service.

A winner of the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy awards for his fiction, he has also won top genre honors abroad in Japan, Spain, In addition to his original fiction, Liu also occasionally publishes literary translations.
