We will aim to have a service every Sunday through August 25, but please check this website to confirm there is a service happening.
There is no childcare for summer services.

For congregants interested in leading a service, but unsure how to go about  it, or  what to do, there is a template  which can be used as a guideline.

We proudly announce

 The Reverend Meg Soens:

FULL TIME Minister.

Rev. Meg Soens is a graduate of Andover Newton Theological School.  She is a social justice activist, a former securities analyst, and a wife and mother of four.  She was ordained in 2012.  After spending quality time with Rev. Meg both in and out of church, we have found her to be a candidate with remarkable warmth and spirit, and an excellent fit for our church.

After our service on May 5, the congregation voted unanimously to call Rev Meg as our full-time minister.

First Parish welcomes people of all traditions, beliefs, and religious backgrounds to its services and religious education program.

 

Services during the church year are Sundays at 10:00 AM from September through early June; childcare is available; and our Sanctuary is fully handicap accessible.
