This Week In Religious Exploration

October 8, 2023 – Forgiveness: Who is it For?

First Parish invites the community to join us for our services on Sundays at 10 am.

Join us for Forgiveness with guest musician Pat Wictor.

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult spiritual practices.  (If it were easy, more people would be good at it!)  Real forgiveness asks much of us and raises thorny, painful questions about wrongdoing, relationships, and responsibility.  We will look at some of these questions and look for a place to start with one’s practice of forgiveness.

In-person or online.
