Peterborough Unitarian Universalist Church

Welcome to our online auction! We continue to host both our exciting online fundraising version as well as our always popular live auction (scheduled May 09 at 7p, at PUUC on 25 Main St in Peterborough). We have decided to compress the time for bidding online to one week, so scan through quickly, and make your bids promptly!

Wow! What a year! Today, as we look around our sanctuary, we see our faith in action -  from honoring the inherent worth and dignity of every person to the interdependence of us all. We have just completed a major chancel renovation including ramp access, updates to technological and audiological access and installation of easily viewed video monitors.  These changes help to support our commitment to this congregation and to the greater community by providing improved access to ALL for our sanctuary and chancel usage. PUUC continues to be very active with community outreach. We host regular concerts by local musicians in our sanctuary, and we support the work of many non profit groups through use of our building and with monetary donations/special collections each month.  We host a Window Dressers program in October that provides custom made energy saving window inserts for individuals and are able to donate a percentage of these inserts to people in need. Our weekly community supper continues to offer a social gathering and nutritious meal to all who attend on Wednesday evenings. We have recently renamed and beautified our former RE space, now called The Nest, which hosts weekly toddler play groups and numerous face-to-face and Zoom meetings. We continue to strengthen our community partnerships through coordination of services with other non-profits through our Intergenerational Support Team. And we will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of our meetinghouse in 2026!
Expenses have not stopped, especially as we continue to grow our outreach services, sustain and support our talented staff, expand our spiritual and ethical growth opportunities, and improve our beautiful historic building and grounds. Funds raised from this auction will be used to offset some of the ongoing expenses, helping to keep this congregation vibrant, engaged and growing!
