The Nauset Fellowship offers a warm-hearted, lay-led fellowship of the spirit based on humanistic values, a sense of humor, and a delight in each other and our commuity.

We are our programs, our potlucks, and the personal relationships they engender. Join us Sundays at 10 a.m. at the Chapel in the Pines, 220 Samoset Road, next to the Eastham Library, for a program and refreshments. Everyone is welcome. Come join your friends. See photos.

Programs: our Sunday meetings usually include a talk by a knowledgeable speaker on diverse topics such as community issues and social concerns, scientific advances, the arts, humour and religion. See list of programs.

Our speakers come from academia, the arts, associations promoting social or environmental values, and the world at large and bring singular points of view.

Fellowship members may speak to enlighten the group on matters of consequence, profundity, or simple delight. Meetings may be devoted entirely to the discussion of a topic. Questions and discussion are always encouraged and every program is followed by a coffee hour and excellent munchies. The first Sunday of every month is generally a business meeting which is often quite entertaining.

Membership: All programs and meetings are open to anyone. Come to those that interest you. You can become a member by asking or stay a visitor. Income from optional pledges, gifts, and donations for use of the chapel goes to upkeep and contributions to local charitable organizations. See list of contributions.

Principles of the UUA

We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, affirm and promote the following propositions, which should resonate pretty well in most open minds:

• the inherent worth and dignity of every person
• justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
• acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth
• a free and responsible search for truth and meaning
• the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregation and in society at large
• the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
• respect for the independent web of all existence, of which we are part
