Love is the Spirit of this Meeting House.
And service is its foundation.
This is our great covenant.

To seek the truth in love,
And to help one another.

Osprey Point Gathering
Tuesdays, August 25 at 5 PM
Hello Ladies of UUMH!
We are meeting on the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays at 5 PM at Osprey Point, aka the Forest Beach Conservation Area off Forest Beach Road, in Chatham. It is a time for us to gather and socialize. Please bring a chair, and I suggest a sun hat and jacket-it can get windy. I usually bring a picnic dinner, but some only bring a snack or nothing—no need to RSVP. If you have questions, see Linda Jean K.

"Tree of Hope" Community Initiative
We invite you to visit the "Tree of Hope" on the side lawn of the UU Meeting House, Main Street, Chatham. It is a place to seek comfort and share messages of loving kindness. Chatham resident Vangie Collins and several volunteers initiated the idea for this dedicated community space. The community can leave tokens and expressions of hope, including kindness rocks, ornaments, or heartfelt thoughts and prayers. The newly decorated tree was introduced with messages of hope. Thank you to all who participated.
