Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua, NH

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua is celebrating its first two hundred years of serving the Greater Nashua area on Sunday, September 27, 2026 with historical walking tours, a celebratory worship service, and a festive lunch featuring 200 cupcakes. This congregation, at 58 Lowell Street, is well known for its long history of community involvement, and in recent years for giving away all donations to the weekly collection plate to support a wide variety of charitable organizations throughout the greater Nashua area.

Kicking off a full bicentennial year of commemorations, the celebratory worship service will begin on Sunday at 10 am with a historical exploration of where we started and how we evolved to the present day. The public is welcome to attend, to enjoy instrumental and vocal music, and to learn more about the history of the congregation. As always, the service will contain material accessible to all ages and to virtual attendees.&nbsp;

A lunch party will follow the service, with activities and food for all guests free of charge. There will be a timeline and displays about the church history, as well as games and an opportunity for members and friends to record their oral history contributions to a UU Nashua Stories Project. For dessert, attendees will share 200 cupcakes – a monumental treat which the founders in 1826 would never have envisioned!

Walking tours of Nashua will conclude the day’s events, starting at 12:45pm on September 27, also free of charge. The guided stroll through the downtown area will bring visitors to relevant sites in Unitarian and Universalist history, and will last approximately 75 minutes. <a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0C4EA4A72FA6F94-65606320-uunashua" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Advanced registration</a> is required to ensure there are enough tour guides.&nbsp;

Celebrations of the UU Church’s 200th birthday will continue throughout the year. Plans for a contra-dance are in the works for the winter, with the public invited. A highlight of the calendar will be the Bicentennial High Tea planned for spring of 2027, where period-appropriate costumes or accessories from the 1800’s are encouraged. The church year will culminate in June 2027 in a traditional Flower Communion, a party, and a celebration of the anniversary of the original church building where this congregation still meets today.&nbsp;

Reverend Allison Palm has been preparing to mark this anniversary for several years, even to the extent of completing major renovations to the 200 year-old church building in time to welcome curious visitors. “This church was founded two hundred years ago because people were looking for new ways to be in community together,” she said. “We are proud of our two centuries of building transformative community and embodying love in action, and look forward to another 200 years to come.”


The origin of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua&nbsp;
This church’s bicentennial is closely tied to the history of Nashua itself. The founding Unitarian congregation was organized in 1826, when this community was still known as Dunstable, more than a decade before the name Nashua was officially adopted. The Universalist tradition followed, with the formal organization of the First Universalist Parish in 1835.&nbsp;

For more than a century, the two congregations followed separate but often closely connected paths through Nashua’s growth, civic development, and social change. Both traditions were marked by progressive religious ideas, a concern for social reform, and a strong commitment to serving the wider community. Many of the people who helped shape early Nashua were members of these congregations, and many are buried in our historic cemetery.&nbsp;

In 1957, the Unitarian and Universalist societies formally united to create the Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua. Our bicentennial therefore commemorates not only 200 years of congregational life, but a religious history that reaches back to the beginnings of modern Nashua and reflects the evolution of the city itself.

SHOWROOM

The Monadnock International Film Festival (MONIFF) returns to Keene for its fourteenth annual festival with an expanded slate of 100+ features and shorts. The 2026 festival will take place October 2-4 in downtown Keene at the Showroom, Keene Public Library, Birdies, Brewbakers/Nova Arts, and, for the first time, the Cheshire County Historical Society. The 10-day virtual program runs from October 6-15.
The films will fall into the following tracks: foreign films, regional and local films, and social issue films. They showcase compelling stories from around the world, including France, Austria, China, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Bermuda, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Switzerland, and Italy. Films dealing with poverty, the criminalization of people experiencing homelessness, the current political climate, and voting rights will be screened, followed by Q&amp;A discussions with guest filmmakers. Academy Award winner Ernest Thompson (On Golden Pond) and Emmy winner Gordon Clapp, with Lisa Bostnar, star in “The Constituent,” a sharp, funny tale of a prolific letter writer who gets a (not so) friendly visit from the recipient of his ire, a United States Senator. Q&amp;A follows, moderated by Dan White of Florentine Films.
A festival highlight is the Jonathan Daniels awards ceremony on Saturday night. In honor of Keene’s Civil Rights hero, this annual award is given to a filmmaker whose film combines artistic excellence with awareness of a social justice issue. In partnership with Monadnock Grown, this year’s award will go to the documentary “Fork in the Road,” which celebrated its World Premiere at the Sonoma International Film Festival and is a Redford Center-supported film screened at the Climate Film Festival in NYC. Co-directed by Vivian Sorenson and Jonathan Nastasi, with narration by Nick Offerman, the film follows small farmers, visionary chefs, and innovators working to heal the land, improve our food systems, and transition to a regenerative future for people and the planet.

“MONIFF is committed to giving exposure to local and regional filmmakers whose films often fly under the radar while also bringing significant independent films like Adams Apple, Fork in the Road, People vs. Politics, and Tails of the Himalayas…of Dogs &amp; Devotees to the Monadnock region,” said Deirdre Fitzgerald, MONIFF board chair and festival programmer. 

Opening night at 6:00 pm at the SHOWROOM brings a special screening of “Not a Photograph: The Mission of Burma Story,” which documents the resurrection of the seminal post-punk band Mission of Burma, beginning in 2002 and continuing to the present. Following the film screening and Q&amp;A, audience members can head to NOVA ARTS/Brewbakers for a special concert featuring Roger Clark Miller, guitarist/vocalist/co-leader in the highly influential post-punk band Mission of Burma. 

“Tails of the Himalayas…of Dogs &amp; Devotees,” directed by four-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Harpreet Kaur, will screen on Saturday, October 3, at the Showroom followed by a Q&amp;A moderated by Kathy Collinsworth, Executive Director of the Monadnock Humane Society. As part of the film’s #PressForPaws campaign, local rescue dogs will walk the festival’s red carpet on Friday, October 2, starting at 5:00 pm. The documentary explores the devoted relationships between street dogs and their human caregivers in the Himalayas, capturing a moving portrait of loyalty, faith, and community resilience. Following its international premiere at the BAFTA-qualifying Carmarthen Bay Film Festival in Wales, the film is launching its U.S. festival tour to celebrate compassion and animal advocacy.


Films that highlight little-known history and the people at their center include “Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story” about Bermudian teenager Clyde Best, who broke into England’s First Division Football (Soccer) and became the first Black superstar of football/soccer’s modern television era. Enduring racism while inspiring millions, Best emerged as the Jackie Robinson of English football, breaking barriers through his on-field excellence and quiet resilience. Another film, “The Last Seat in the House,” explores the life and legacy of Bill Hanley, the pioneering sound engineer known as the “Father of Festival Sound.” Hanley will join director John Kane for the Q&amp;A.
