UU Falmouth’s Story Continues
We’ve had heroes and heroines, we’ve had ups and downs. Where we are in our story and what’s ahead isn’t just anybody’s guess. Our history is in our memories; we are making our history now while, willy nilly, we lay the foundation for our future. This service will be an open forum – come to […]

Honoring Tradition and Embracing Change
Service Associate Rev. Saramaria Allenby. Rev. Marie will preside over an interactive form of worship that is appealing to many younger spiritual seekers.
