Religious Exploration

Religious Exploration

On most Sundays, children of all ages are invited to sit with their families or friends during the first part of the regular worship service. This starts at 10:00 a.m. This time includes chalice and candle lighting, a time for sharing joys and sorrows, and a “Moment For All Ages,” after which children leave to go to their classes.

There are several multi-generational worship services when all ages gather in the sanctuary for worship in community and celebration.

Expresso Yourself @ the Historic Meetinghouse November 23

Expresso Yourself @ the Historic Meetinghouse November 23

This past summer, Betsy Johnson, a local poet and storyteller, joined with Jewish Family Services and CJPs Womens Philanthropy on a mission to San Diego to serve at a Refugee Resettlement Shelter hosting refugee families seeking asylum. It was a life changing experience that left her with a commitment to share her experience and continue the work of promoting immigration justice. It is with passion and deep sense of personal mission, that she share the evening with five award-winning slam poets, storytellers, and spoken word artists who share her commitment to environmental and social justice issues. The evening is supported by the Green Sanctuary Committee of First Parish UU Medfield. Doors open 6:30pm for delicious desserts.
Show is 7:00-9:00PM
Tickets: $15 ($10 students)

More Information

First Parish people say:

I am connected to this First Parish community. This one, right here. In the "crisis" times - the deaths, divorces, illnesses - I am more aware of our First Parish family. The emails and cards of support, offers of meals, rides to the doctor, are so tangible of our values, our care and respect. But, the special part I value most is the daily support I feel. Every day, I feel a safety net below me of interwoven arms of all the people in this community. For 17 years, First Parish has been the constant in my life of changes. Read the full testimonial.
