Advent Evensong Gathering 

Sunday, December 8--4:00 pm
​ 
Come join us in our sanctuary for this quiet service of readings, reflections and music that will take us into the deeper meaning of this season. Together we’ll anticipate the light that shines in the darkness. 

This Sunday morning continues with children’s faith formation gatherings.  On Sundays families will begin worship time together in the sanctuary, and then after the Children's message time in worship all pre-k through sixth graders will be welcomed to join with adult leaders in the education wing of the church where they’ll share in faith formation activities.  

Your contributions and gifts to the Missions and Ministries of First Parish Church allow us to continue serving our local communities, our nation, and our world.

Sunday Children’s Faith Formation Gatherings

​(a new version of Sunday School!)
Families begin together in the sanctuary, and then after their special time in worship all pre-k through sixth graders will be welcomed to join with adult leaders in the education wing of the church.  They’ll begin together as a whole, share in a time of prayer and offering, then meet in age-appropriate groups to explore lessons from scripture and contemporary stories that lift up Progressive Christian values and engage in creative activities that support their learning. From the very beginning of their spiritual journey our aim is to encourage questions, nurture wonder, and open up the space for self-confidence to grow.
