The Circle We Keep
10:30am in the Sanctuary, with livestream YouTube
What does it mean to belong? Membership in a congregation is a promise to show up, to give, and to be someone others can count on. That promise doesn’t stop at our doors; it reaches into our neighborhoods, our nation, and our world. This Sunday we’ll welcome by name those who joined FRSUU this past year and remember with love the members we lost, as we ask how our circle can widen.
Following worship we will hold a Special Meeting for members to vote to approve the Parish Board’s execution of a contract to replace the Parish Hall boiler, at a cost not to exceed $40,000. Attend in person or on Zoom.
FRSUU Welcomes New Interim Minister!
Rev. Connie explains her approach to interim ministry on her website: “I’ve chosen to focus my ministry on transitional work because I genuinely love it. There’s something deeply meaningful about accompanying congregations through periods of change—helping them reflect on their history, clarify their identity, strengthen their leadership, and step intentionally into their future. Transitions are challenging, but they’re also extraordinary opportunities for growth, healing, and renewal.”

Tour the FRSUU Campus and Buildings
Follow our drone footage as we fly to the top of FRSUU’s steeple featuring a glass-eyed gilded weathercock which overlooks downtown Newburyport and Merrimack River. From there, you’ll get a first-hand look at our campus grounds and the interior of our Meetinghouse and Sanctuary which dates back to 1801. Rev. Connie Simon, our Interim Minister, welcomes you and ALL who seek a place of spiritual community and faith here. Organ music provided by former Director of Church Music Justin Murphy-Mancini on our 1834 Joseph Alley organ. Piano music provided by Director of Church Music Nick Place. We close with a view of the bell from the foundry of Paul Revere and Sons bell.
