FPUU Medfield has a vibrant and historic music program. There are many opportunities for musically inclined churchgoers to participate:

The FPUU Medfield Choir

The FPUU Medfield Choir is a fun, welcoming group of singers who perform both secular and sacred music throughout the church year. All ages, voice types, and experience levels are welcome! The ability to read music is not required. Contact Eva Conley Kendrick at music@firstparishmedfield.org for more information.

Music Sunday Service

Our annual Music Sunday service features the musically talented members of our congregation of all ages. Last year’s service included a family trio of singers, an elementary school student who wrote his own piano pieces, classical works on piano, violin, and harp; vocal music, the Larger Circle Band, and the FPUU Medfield Choir.

Community Thanksgiving Service

Each year, our choir lifts our voices with other local choirs to provide music for the interdenominational Community Thanksgiving Service, held the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. This service rotates at different churches and a temple in Medfield and Westwood. 

Lowell Mason Holiday Concert

Each year, the FPUU Medfield Choir performs at the Lowell Mason Holiday Concert in December, a fundraiser to benefit the Lowell Mason House, an organization whose mission is to preserve the historic home of our former Music Director and turn it into an active space where music will be made. You can learn more at www.lowellmasonhouse.net

Social Activities

In the 2025-2026 we will be holding a Choir Potluck Party and two Open Hymn Sings, one in the fall and one in the winter, where members from the congregation will be invited to sing through and provide feedback on new hymns in our new virtual hymnal, Sing Out Love, which we will be incorporating in our worship services throughout the year.

FPUU Medfield is a welcoming and affirming community, inclusive to people of all backgrounds, races, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. All who would like to make music with us are welcome!
