We welcome all who seek a vibrant spiritual home, where together we lovingly challenge and transform ourselves.
Empowered by our congregation’s rich history and our Unitarian Universalist traditions, we commit to courageously build a caring and just world.
Upcoming Services
Sunday, February 5th
We often inquire about each other's physical health but we rarely ask someone, "How are things going in your spiritual life?" This morning we will focus on how we care for that dimension of our lives, and how important it is to do so. Are you feeling spiritually connected? If not, come and explore how you can. Worship will be led by The Rev. Tom Rosiello. At 11 AM our Adult Choir will sing a new anthem entitled, "May I Be Still" and given in honor of Nancy Grimes and Ed Steinfeld's marriage.
Sunday, February 12th
The focus of our service this morning will be on the many ways that “We connect at FPC to build a strong community.” We will share stories, construct a chain of connections and each make a new connection this Sunday. This will be an active and fun service, yet rich and meaningful for all ages. Music will include child-friendly hymns and songs, and our worship leaders will include Tom Rosiello, Minister, Michellle Cote, DRE, youth, and adults from our congregation.
Sunday, February 19th
Over the past 5 years our minister Tom Rosiello has spent some time in Mexico. He will share some of his experiences and thoughts about learning from the interaction with other cultures and places. Our music will include Spanish songs and hymns, and will have a “Latin flavor.”
Thursday, February 23rd
This evening, in the quiet of our candlelit sanctuary, we will explore the beauty of thinking from your heart, instead of from your head. We will also examine the spiritual practice of learning certain words, poems or prayers “by heart”, and how that can help us on our life’s journey. Is there something you know “by heart”, and that comes to you when you need it? If so, you will be invited to share it during the service. Or you may also bring a reading that is about “living by or from the heart” to share. Vespers is a monthly service of readings, sharing, candle-lighting, beautiful music, silent prayer and meditation.
Sunday, February 26th
To know where we are going, it is helpful to know where we have been. First Parish has a long rich history, as does our religious tradition. Today we are going to look back to the wisdom and inspiration of those who came before us. Our worship will be led by The Rev. Tom Rosiello.
