Theme-Based Ministry
Themes for the 2025-2026 Congregational Year
Monthly Ministry Themes for 2025-2026
Each spring, lay leadership and First Parish staff members carefully consider the next year’s calendar and events, and then brainstorm monthly ministry themes. We weave these themes into worship, lifespan religious exploration, Small Group Ministry, events, and activities at First Parish
September: Embracing Possibility
October: Discerning Good & Evil
November: Choosing Hope
December: Opening to Joy
January: Growing Gratitude
February: Building Belonging
March: Nurturing Inner Wisdom
April: Living with Intention
May: Cultivating Compassion
June: Awakening Curiosity
Our Sunday services, lifespan religious exploration program, and Small Groups will weave these themes into worship, events, and activities at First Parish. Many thanks to lay leaders from Worship, Small Groups, and RE who helped contribute these themes!
