“Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile.

Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.”

F.U.U.S.M. Affirmation 

   We, the members and friends of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta:

    Support the free and disciplined search for truth as the center of religious community

    and encourage an acceptance of pluralistic views;

    Recognize our Judeo-Christian heritage as well as other traditions, and seek lasting 

    values and new insights;

    Affirm, defend, and promote the equality, worth, and dignity of every person;

    Strive for a world community of love, justice, and peace;

    Support the democratic process and mutual respect in all human relationships;

    Cherish the universe and its resources, and recognize the unity of all life. 

Time for All Ages      What does mindfulness mean to you?

I breathe slowly in,

I breathe slowly out. 

My breath is a river of peace.

I am here in the world.

Each moment I can breathe and be.
