This Sunday’s service: “Muslims Are Good People”

Posted on May 22, 2013 by northshoreuu

Many ordinary Muslim-Americans are experiencing hostile reactions from non-Muslims in response to the Boston Marathon bombings. One mother from Morocco with children in the Danvers schools asks how can we help people to see that Muslims are good people and fine neighbors.

This reality will be the theme of our service on Sunday, May 26, as the Reverend Frieda Gillespie speaks on the topic of “Muslims Are Good People.”

The service will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by coffee and fellowship at about 11:30. Religious education is provided, and visitors are always welcome.

More sermons now online

Posted on May 20, 2013 by northshoreuu

We’ve been catching up, and the audio of every sermon that is available has now been posted online. We’re especially pleased that Reverend Frieda’s sermon of last October 21, “Gender, Identity, and Sexual Orientation,” is now up, given that it seemed to have gone missing at the time. You can listen to the sermons here.

This week’s service: “You’ll Fly Away”

Posted on May 9, 2013 by northshoreuu

Parenting is tough, as everyone who’s raised children knows. One of the hardest parts is sending them off to college or wherever they start their adult lives. We enter a new phase of our lives and cope with a great sense of loss as we let them go.

These issues will be discussed at our service this Sunday, May 12, as the Reverend Frieda Gillespie speaks on the theme of “You’ll Fly Away.”

The service will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by coffee and fellowship at about 11:30. Religious education is provided, and visitors are always welcome.

This Sunday: A roots service and our annual meeting

Posted on May 2, 2013 by northshoreuu

This Sunday, May 5, we will hear from three of our members and friends about their spiritual journeys. These are often moving and inspiring stories to which we are privileged to listen.

Two guest musicians will perform. Lisa Watkins sings with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus — on Symphony Hall stage, at Tanglewood, and on tour with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Bonnie Anderson is on the piano faculty at Phillips Academy in Andover. Next season she will be touring with cellist Trevor Handy and releasing a CD with trumpeter Joseph Foley.

This Sunday is also “Food Sunday.” Please bring a nonperishable food item for the Danvers Food Pantry. Donations can be left in the basket in Fellowship Hall. You are, of course, also welcome and encouraged to bring food donations at any other time it is convenient for you.

Our monthly “Share the Plate” offering will benefit Operation Troop Support.

The service will be followed by the annual meeting to vote on finances and elect officers for the coming church year.

Irish music concert is scheduled for Saturday

Posted on April 29, 2013 by northshoreuu

Gloucester Hornpipe and Clog Society

The Gloucester Hornpipe and Clog Society will perform at the Northshore UU Church this Saturday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m. The concert was originally scheduled for March but got snowed out. The show will mark the conclusion of the church’s annual Music in the Woods series.

The band, founded in 1971, has performed in the Greater Boston area, the North Shore, throughout New England, and twice at the invitation of the International Folk Festival in Letterkenny, Donegal.

The concert, prepared especially for Music in the Woods, will offer primarily traditional Irish tunes, with some original songs by Diane Taraz and Lynn Noel and original tunes by Nancy Koch and John Berger. Mixed in will be a few maritime tunes and songs, a modern parody of a sad Irish ballad, and an Appalachian tune with a crowd-pleasing pogo cello solo by David “Doc” Rosen.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and students, and free for children under 13.
