In conjunction with Unitarian Universalist congregations across the country, on the weekend of Sept. 28 and 29, the Peterborough Unitarian Universalist Congregation at 25 Main St. will be hosting a weekend of activities to locally revive climate justice commitment to continue to combat climate change and its impacts worldwide. The public is invited to all events.

On Saturday, Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to noon, preschool and kindergarten-age children can take part in climate-themed activities at PUUC.
