Long-Haul People by Rudy Nemser*
You find them in churches
When you’re lucky;
Other places too, thought I mostly
Only know the ecclesiastical varieties.
Long-haul people,
Upon whose shoulders
(and pocketbooks and casseroles
And daylight/nighttime hours)
A church is built and maintained
After the brass is tarnished and
Cushions need re-stitching.
They pay their pledges full and on time
Even when the music’s modern;
Support each canvass
Though the sermons aren’t always short;
Mow lawns and come to suppers;
Teach Sunday School when
There’s no one else and they’ll miss the service.
Asked what they think of the minister,
Or plans for the kitchen renovation,
Or the choral anthem, or Christmas pageant,
Or color of the bathroom paint,
They’ll reply: individuals and fashions
Arrive and pass.
The church – their church – will be here, steady and hale.
For a long. Long time.
It will.
For long-haul people bless a church with a very special blessing.
Come celebrate the Long Haul People.

Liberal Values
Welcome to Community Unitarian Universalists in Brighton (CUUB). With a deep commitment to honoring the inherent worth and dignity of every person, we come together as a congregation of open minds, loving hearts, and helping hands. We are unified by our shared search for spiritual growth, and our historically strong commitment to social justice. Whatever your age, race, or sexual orientation, you are welcome here. We invite you to join us in our free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
Inspiration from Everywhere and Anywhere
We recognize the diversity of our spiritual paths and beliefs, and offer a welcoming home for modern individuals and families who may struggle with singular dogma. We are united by shared values, not by creed. We affirm and honor each individual's spiritual exploration.
