First Parish offers both in-person and Zoom based virtual worship experiences. We approach this with layers of accommodations to meet the varying needs for those who are comfortable in person and those who’s need require remote access. Please review our safety protocols and join us joyously as we are able to meet your needs. 

We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life. In a world of heartbreak and dehumanization, our congregations and communities call us to our better selves. We learn to live with more wisdom, more connection, and more compassion.

Our Sunday Services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our programs for all ages inspire us, and awaken us to our capacities to make a difference in our own lives and in the world.

We are inspired not just by religious sources but by the people with whom we journey: the diverse and spirited Unitarian Universalists.

“Our faith is not interested in saving your soul. We’re here to help you unfold the awesome soul you already have.” — Andrea Lerner

Our Sunday Morning greeters will ask you to wear a name tag and give you an Order of Service. They can assist you with large print Order of Service or Assisted Hearing Devices if needed.

Our services are about an hour in length and include music, hymns, readings, and a sermon. After the service, we invite you to join us in the Parish Hall for an informal social hour where you will enjoy some refreshments and conversation.

Religious education classes for preschoolers and older children are also held at 10:30 during the regular church year, starting on September 8th. Our supervised nursery is available during the service for children three and younger during the regular church year.

The second Sunday of each month is an All-Age service  Children are always welcome in the Meeting House!

Several times a year, services may be held in the Parish Hall. Those services have included a Solstice in December, Animal Blessing and Passover in the Spring. 

The Candlelight Christmas Eve, Easter Sunday and Flower Communion services are highlights for everyone.

Our choir, directed by Olga Rogach sings three out of four Sundays. Our alternative musicians bring their talents once a month – usually a nice surprise.
