I've been a church member for almost 20 years. This community has been a home, an inspiration, a…read moresafe place for us to be ourselves, and a safety net. When we first attended the church, we were drawn in by the music, and then gradually welcomed in by a few more outgoing members. It is true that Unitarian Universalists tend to be introverts which can make us appear aloof. But we've made it our mission to step out of our shells and live out our promise to be welcoming. There is so much under the surface here at UUCR. It is a tapestry of people with varying religious backgrounds who've come to seek together. It's a place where atheists, Jews, agnostics, Buddhists, Humanists, and Christians (and so on) can share community, care for each other, and support each other's search for truth and contentment. It's a place of covenant not of creed, based on mutual respect. As a parent, I've seen how it has nurtured, challenged, and supported our children in a way that gives me hope for the future. UUCR is just like any other community. It requires work and money to sustain. Yes, there are committees and pledge drives and all the other trappings (beautiful and not so beautiful) of an extended family. But it is family and they have supported my family in so many ways. If your looking for a religious community, come by on Sunday. Look for me or our amazing member services coordinator Melissa. We'd be happy to introduce you around.

The people here aren't UNfriendly per se. It's just that they exude a sense of "I already have friends" The best reason to go is the Music Director. He's talented and funny. The music was a joy for all the services we attended. If your looking for a place to worship on your own in the Reading area, this is the spot. If you're looking for a community? Look elsewhere

Every member has a heart for GOD, will extend a helping hand, and has no problem loving anyone in their sphere of influence. Jesus Christ and the Bible are at the center of their mission and teachings. Despite your level of faith, the church members will encourage you to deepen your relationship with God through services, bible studies, and small group sessions. I have had the fortune of serving in the music ministry with amazing musicians and great people. You should definitely check out a Sunday service for yourself!!!

Yiassou! I really enjoyed the October 2008 Greek festival at St. Vasilios in Peabody. It was the…read morefirst time that I made the effort to drive to St. Vasilios for any reason. The enormous white-clapboard church definitely looks WASP New England, which it formerly probably was. There is a huge social hall/community center attached to the church. The community is active, loving, family-oriented and welcoming to newcomers. Unfortunately, the church was already locked up for the evening so I didn't have a chance to see the interior and light a candle. Next time. I was happy that the festival was indoors, with a good dance floor, not broken-up parking lot asphalt. I also liked the fact that it was in October after most of the other Greek festivals were over. The food and pastries were terrific, made by the parishioners. The Makredes Ensemble has got to be the best Greek-American dance band in New England. I enjoyed their variety of dance music as well as the fact that they didn't drag on for 20 minutes with each kalamatiano, the Greek national folk dance that gets everyone up and moving. The Pontian Dance Group (from the Black Sea area) and their musicians were great. Their dance performances and native costumes were really well done. I appreciated the fact that they came back to the floor and taught their native dances to the festival goers. I also really appreciated seeing so many dancers (mostly non-Greek) from the Dance New England folk dance group--they really were some of the best dancers on the floor! They give such energy to the festival. I was only sorry that the dancing began so late (8:00pm) and that I had to leave at 10:00pm. I swear that some of the dancers who are Italian have Greek blood from their southern Italian ancestors. I was also impressed at how many people, especially men, were dancing and packing the floor! So much kefi! At too many of the festivals this year, there were very few people dancing, and even fewer men of any age. Only one thing annoyed me: the greasy smell of frying loukoumades (Greek fried dough which I love) permeated the air and made my clothes smell dreadfully for a couple of days afterward. THAT is one of the advantages of an outdoor festival--the frying loukoumades can be situated far from the action. It was a great festival overall and a wonderful way to end the 2008 Greek festival season. Kai tou xronou!
