Walpole Unitarian Church

        One church, many paths...even spiral ones!

         Come, Come, Whoever You Are!

             We're so glad you found us!

            The Walpole Unitarian Church is a congregation of people who have been committed and involved in the church for decades, as well as newcomers just entering our community.

            We embrace a diversity of religious beliefs and practices, celebrating and honoring faith traditions that offer an abundance of common ground and richness of thought and spiritual exploration.

Thoughts and Meditations:

Let us pause on Saturday, Nov. 2, at 10 a.m...

 Meditation for All Souls Day, offered by Rev. Elaine Bomford.

​

“You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.” ~Anne Lamott
