Commitment Sunday
“Building On Our Strengths” is the Annual Fund Drive theme this year. Today we will make sure all the bricks are in the wall! We will come forward to turn in our pledges (or virtual pledges, if yours is already in). We will move ahead in community. Religious Exploration offered for children.
Poetry Sunday
If you have a poem, short or long, bring it on for our Special Service Poetry Sunday. Contact Bill Wians wwians@mac.com. It can be your own or one you like. You can read it yourself or hand it off to any one of our skilled declamation specialists. 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 “So What?” And egg hunting for the kids!
It’s a Spring Thing!
The vernal equinox is March 20, which makes it quite official. No guarantees on the weather, of course, but our RE kids are ready to go. They invite you to share this Special Service with them. Join us to celebrate all the possibilities of the brand-new season.
The Sermon on the Amount
ANNUAL FUND DRIVE SUNDAY will kick off our campaign to support First Parish over the coming fiscal year. “Building On Our Strengths” is this year’s theme. Rev. David shares thoughts on why saying yes is what makes it all possible. Religious Exploration offered for children.
#WhyFPUU
Our annual Special Service for members and friends to share what they especially enjoy about the First Parish community. Religious Exploration offered for children.
Heaven or Whatever
Fewer and fewer Americans – of any religious persuasion, or none – believe in any specific afterlife. About time people wised up, isn’t it? On the other hand, in what we choose not to believe, we reveal a great deal about who we really are. Religious Exploration offered for children.
A Flexible Certainty
UU belief and UU practice have a certain relationship of disjunction. We have some idiosyncratic ways of bringing faith and works into alignment, but they are also distinctive strengths if we grasp the need for pragmatism in our certainties. Religious Education offered for children.
Granite Statues, Feet of Clay
Who gets a statue in a public place, and why? Who doesn’t, and how do they feel about that? How does an artifact on display have meaning? Whose meaning should it be and why does that matter? Bill is on our Worship and Music Committee. Religious Exploration offered for children.
