A Season of Lights & Miracles

It was Thich Nhat Hanh who said, “People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.” This month we light candles for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, & the Solstice, and consider … Continue reading A Season of Lights & Miracles

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 “Time 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.

People Say

Ann Cunningham

I've been a member of this UU church since 2011. My connection to Unitarian Universalism, and to this church in particular, has had a deep influence on my spiritual life, on my personal understanding of death as part of life, and the power of prayer. (more…)

Cissy Hull-Allen

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. (more…)

Sarah Zitoli

This past November, I watched a video online of a TED talk. This TED talk, given by Ash Beckham, was about coming out of the closet. In the opening of the talk, Beckham explains that the experience of coming out of the closet is not limited to the GLBTQ community, but rather, she suggests, that we all have closets, and that “all a closet is, is a hard conversation.” This definitely struck a chord with me.

What did I gain from being part of a UU Church? I had a really hard time organizing this. I mean I knew what to say...just not how to say it. I am what I learned so maybe I’m just too close. So I looked for inspiration. Tyler would say something about our fathers being our models for God and how we’re all God’s unwanted children. Donnie is agnostic and would talk to me about the spectrum of human emotion and then ask me what I know about time travel. (more…)

What I gained from being raised at FPUU

I was raised in this church – I was raised by this church. While my biological family was spread across the world, here at First Parish I had grandparents and cousins, aunts and uncles. I had big kids to look up to and younger kids to mentor. Our community was large enough to feel grand but small enough that no one was forgotten. (more…)

FPUU Is a Gift

On Sunday, September 26, 1993 William and Karen Wians brought me, their 6 month old child, to First Parish for my dedication. Far too young to remember the event myself, it marked a very important moment in my life, as an incredible gift had just been given to me. (more…)
