Activities & Programs
In addition to the programs that have their own areas on the homepage of this website, you may want to learn more about some of these programs and activities:
Welcoming Congregation – affirming the worth and dignity of every person and celebrating the presence in our midst of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons; overseen by a Welcoming Congregation Committee that develops programs that help the congregation promote respect not only within our congregational life, but in the community as a whole.
Adult Education – presenting evening courses and weekend workshops that promote lifelong spiritual development and religious learning, and that apply enduring values to the social issues of our time.
Fun and Frolic - Thanks to the Fellowship Committee, we always have a wide array of ongoing activities and one-time events to keep us entertained and draw us closer together.
Youth Group – The First Parish Youth Group is open to all interested high school students. It is led by a paid youth advisor who also works as the intern minister of the church. Currently, the group has approximately 30 youth. Most meetings are held Sunday evening, at 7 pm, at the church. We invite you to come and check us out!
The Youth Group kick-off BBQ will take place on Sunday, September 12th from 5:30-7 pm at the Buckley home. All high schoo- age youth are welcome. Last names A-L please bring a side dish, M-R a dessert, and S-Z a beverage. Please call the office or contact Molly at internmollyatgmail.com if you need the Buckleys' address or have any questions.
Parenting Your Children Group – Commonly referred to as PYC, this dynamic group gathers monthly for family potlucks followed by an hour of "parent talk", while the kids retire downstairs for games, projects, and general fun under the supervision of hand-picked sitters.
Volunteers – Serving the church community in countless little ways, from office help to fix-it projects, from driving someone to church or to a medical appointment to helping with a social event or a social action project.
Committees – Service on church committees is open to active friends of the congregation as well as official members. Helping plan programs and oversee activities can be a fulfilling activity in itself, with real growth opportunities for useful leadership skills.
