On Saturday, September 13, the Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton & Upton (UUSGU) dedicated, and celebrated, the installation of a new vertical lift in their meetinghouse on Grafton Common. Dedication of the lift is the culmination of an 18-month capital campaign, and provides access to the main meeting space and sanctuary of the meetinghouse.

The capital campaign received broad support, not only from UUSGU members, but also from the larger Grafton community.

The UUSGU meetinghouse is a vital thread in the fabric of Grafton, and a landmark on Grafton Common. It hosts programs that serve vulnerable, at-risk, and diverse populations. The space is used by other congregations and nonprofits. The installation of a lift ensures access for people of all abilities and makes the meetinghouse more available as a community resource.

Following the dedication ceremony, UUSGU hosted a reception celebrating the historic event.

The Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton & Upton is a community of people who recognize the inherent good in all people, extend love and acceptance to everyone, embrace the worth and dignity of every individual, and foster each other’s spiritual growth, no matter their beliefs.

The Unitarian Universalist Society of Grafton & Upton is located at 3 Grafton Common, Grafton.
