November Worship Services
November 3 A Tribute to UU Women Joanne McDonald
Women in the 18th and 19th century were supposed to stay in their place – in the home, raising children, not get an education, not vote, not work, not to think for themselves about God or life. Join us for a tribute to Unitarian Universalist women who didn’t fit the mold.
November 10 The Practice of Repair Rev. Fayre Stephenson
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg writes, “The path of repentance is one that can help us not only to repair what we have broken, to the fullest extent possible, but to grow in the process of doing so. Join us as we explore the process of repairing broken relationships, both public and personal.
November 17 Poetry Sunday The Congregation
At this service, an annual event, members of the congregation are invited to share a favorite poem and to say what the poem means to them. Each year this is a service of powerful spiritual moments and fellowship.
November 24 The Abundance of Our Lives Rev. Fayre Stephenson
On this Sunday we will gather downstairs in our Concert Hall for a meal in celebration of the abundance of our lives together. During the service we will affirm our gratitude for the ways we nourish and uplift each other and, together, we will read The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address.
Mollyockett Chorus Benefit Concert
The Mollyockett Chorus, wonderful a cappella singers, will perform a benefit concert Saturday, November 23, at 7:00 p.m. in our Concert Hall. Admission will be $10 at the door. Proceeds will benefit maintenance of our historic building.
Each year the chorus adopts a theme for selecting the songs they will sing that season. This year’s theme is “Backstage at the Variety Show.” Come join the fun, and hear songs the chorus might sing while waiting backstage!
The Mollyockett Chorus, based in Norway, was organized in 1996 and is a chapter of Harmony Inc., an international women’s barbershop organization. Under the direction of Simon Smith of Bethel, the chorus sings lively popular music, mostly from early to mid-20th Century, in the barbershop style.
The chorus is comprised of women from all over Western Maine and performs at various venues. They frequently perform at the Bear Mountain Music Hall in Waterford, the Sawyer Foundation in Greene, and the Poland Spring Resort.
Women who love to sing are always welcome at chorus rehearsals, which take place Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m., in our Concert Hall. For more information, email the chorus at mollyockettchorus@gmail.com or visit the chorus on Facebook.
