A chalice with the word Love over the flame, surrounded by three interlocking and elliptical orbits of color resembling the stylized motion of subatomic particles. As the orbits intersect each other, the colors shift from dark pink to red, aqua to dark blue, and goldenrod to bright green. Within the open spaces formed by each interlocking orbit are the six UU shared values in a modern font: Clockwise: Transformation (aqua), Equity (bright green), Pluralism (red), Interdependence (dark blue), Justice (goldenrod), and Generosity (dark pink).

November 9, 2025 – “To Live In This World” – A Five Points Cluster Shared Worship Service at First Parish Stoughton (10:30 a.m.)

Sunday, November 9, 2025, 10:30 AM – “To Live in This World,” a Five Points Cluster Shared Worship Service hosted by First Parish Stoughton, with Deborah Weiner and special music featuring the Five Points Cluster Joint Choir

We travel many paths and come from diverse backgrounds as residents of this land. While exploring Amish Country in Pennsylvania this summer, the juxtaposition of living a life isolated from the present day and rooted in the past, yet relating to people who live in the “modern” world, became clear. What does it take to live in this world while rooting one foot in another century – and what can we who live in today’s society learn from this clash of cultures?

 

Deborah Weiner is a Unitarian Universalist transitional ministries consultant and leader who has worked with congregations throughout the US and Canada. Deb is a lifelong UU and a credentialed interim religious educator focused on helping congregations in transition bring health and vitality to their ministries and congregational systems.
