Worship:

Touching the head and the heart     go to Worship

Sunday services at First Parish delve into the search for meaning in our daily lives. They may include meditation, music, art, heartfelt sharing, challenging sermons and spontaneous humor. Most are led by our minister, but in our tradition of shared ministry, members and friends often conduct lay services on topics as diverse as art and poetry, Islam and Buddhism, love and war.

Religious Education:

Based on respect for others      go to R.E.

Our religious education program offers a balance of experiences and opportunities that integrate education, ritual, social outreach, philosophical discussion, and fun in a nurturing and caring environment. We offer Sunday morning meetings to children and youth aged 3 to 18. Nursery care is available for children from birth through age 4. We also sponsor a youth group and spiritual discussions for adults.

Music:

A vital element of worship      go to Music

Our choir sings pieces from gospel to Vivaldi, and everyone is welcome to join. Our music director and guest musicians perform vocal and instrumental solos, adding dimension and variety.
