Welcome to Gloucester's Independent Christian Church, Unitarian Universalist. Our church has a long and distinguished history in the establishment of religious freedom in the United States. Throughout its history, the church has evolved to deal with the conditions of the times to meet the needs and aspirations of its congregation. That process continues to this day - adapting to new challenges while keeping historic customs and traditions which hold meaning for members. read more »
As a Unitarian Universalist congregation, we gather in a spirit of joy to celebrate community and the gifts of each individual. We seek to be guided by love, welcoming those of every race, ethnicity, creed, class, age, gender, physical or mental ability, and sexual identity. We honor freedom of thought. We seek spiritual guidance and inspiration. We support spiritual inquiry. We strive to put our ideas into our deeds and to work for justice and peace.

Weekly Reflection
FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION
by
Antoine De St.-Exupéry
In a house which becomes a home, one hands down and another
takes up the heritage of mind and heart, laughter and tears,
musings and deeds.
Love, like a carefully loaded ship, crosses the gulf between the generations.
Therefore we do not neglect the ceremonies of our passage; when we wed,
when we die, and when we are blessed with a child;
When we depart and when we return; when we plant and when we harvest.
Let us bring up our children. It is not the place of some official to hand
to them their heritage.
If others impart to our children our knowledge and ideals, they will lose
all of us that is wordless and full of wonder.
Let us build memories in our children, lest they drag out joyless lives, read more »
