Being Wrong Religiously

How we move through the world matters. Being wrong is an inevitable part of the trip, and using a religious perspective can help us to stay whole inside. Taking in the scenery doesn’t have to mean a sectarian or even theistic frame. Religious Exploration offered for children.

Easter Sunday for All Ages

We will begin the service with a Hat Parade for everyone. Plan to don your best chapeau and promenade! We will have a special “egg-sighting” Time for All Ages, spring Choir music, special reading and a homily called “Made for Goodness.” Then kids go out for the Easter egg hunt.

Earth Day for All Ages

Our Earth Day service is early because of Easter, but join us in celebration, inspiration and the challenges as we move forward as an official Green Sanctuary Congregation of the UUA. Church Clean-up Day after – all welcome!

Commitment Sunday

“Love Will Guide Us” is the Annual Fund Drive theme this year. Today we turn in our pledges (or virtual pledges, if yours is already in). “Falling Upward” will be the homily. The Membership Committee will also honor the “us.” Religious Exploration offered for children.

Attitude for Altitude

ANNUAL FUND DRIVE SUNDAY will kick off our campaign to support First Parish over the coming fiscal year. “Love Will Guide Us” is this year’s theme. Rev. David shares thoughts on aiming in the right direction for the best future. Religious Exploration offered for children.

Why I ___ First Parish

Our special guest speakers will fill in the blank. They might tell us why they are here, what they love, why it matters to them, or how they feel in this community. This service is a tradition. It always gives new perspective on those around us. Religious Exploration offered for children.

Future Discounted

How much is the future worth, really?  Is that value everything, or nothing, or a number somewhere in between?  In a time of global climate change, the answer to this question is the most important one.  What do we owe the world that comes after?  Religious Exploration offered for children.
