NORWAY — This spring the congregation of the First Universalist Church of Norway (Unitarian Universalist) joyfully welcomed eleven new members on April 30 and June 18. The new members were received in a welcoming ceremony during the Sunday services when each new member signed the church’s historic membership book.
The First Universalist Church, a liberal Welcoming Congregation, was founded in 1799. First Universalist Church is the oldest congregation in Norway and the oldest continuously operating Universalist Church in Maine.
