This Sunday

Six Smooth Stones

Rev David Chandler

The metaphor was five stones for the UU theologian James Luther Adams, but the UUA General Assembly made them one more. Our children are studying this year the “Six Sources” of our living tradition. We should understand them as well. Religious Exploration for children.

Expresso yourself coffeehouse: October 27

Called "one of New England's best songwriters" by The Boston Globe, award-winning contemporary folk singer/songwriter Terry Kitchen writes songs that are portraits of ordinary people and emotions, captured with extraordinary compassion, honesty and humor. His latest CD The Quiet Places has been heard across the U.S and Canada, with its opening track "Enjoy It While It Lasts" reaching #8 on the national Folk-DJ chart. Kitchen's songs have won the Mid-Atlantic and USA Song Contests and been runner-up in the John Lennon Song Contest, and have appeared in numerous films. He has been performing on folk stages since the 1990s, releasing ten CDs, and he was the leader of the groundbreaking '80s band Loose Ties, whose experiences he recounts in his novel Next Big Thing, called "a great debut novel" by The San Francisco Book Review.

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.
