Sunday, July 5, 10:00am (breakfast at 9:30)
The“Hidden Handel”
Mr. Steve Johnson, worship leader

George Friedrich Handel was born 250 years ago, and is usually considered the most famous English composer (even though he was German). As part of the informal series of lay-led summer services at First Parish Sudbury, Steve Johnson, First Parish member, will lead a service on July 5th that explores some of the lesser known pieces of Handel. The service will center on recorded excerpts reflecting Handel's life and times, with selections from his lesser-known works dealing with war, peace, nightmares, the sea, frogs, kings, despair, and a love song sung by a monster!

The service begins at 10:00 preceded by a buffet breakfast at 9:30 a.m. All are very welcome.

Childcare is available during the breakfast and service. Come early and visit with neighbors and friends as First Parish continues its always diverse, always joyful and always fascinating series of summer services led by parish members and guests.

First Parish of Sudbury is a Unitarian Universalist congregation located at 327 Concord Road. The Meetinghouse is accessible to wheelchair users and those who are hearing impaired. We embrace diversity and are intentional about the participation of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons in all aspects of congregational life. We welcome all who share the principles and goals of our community.
