In order to protect the health of our congregation, our regular worship services will be held online.
Please join us here on the First Parish website at 10am each Sunday morning. The service will be live-streamed, followed by a virtual coffee hour.
We realize that you may be intimidated by the thought of connecting online, but it is much easier than it sounds, and there are tech-savvy members ready to support you through the process. What is most important is that we keep our congregation safe and healthy, and that we remain connected. If you need technical support, or just someone to walk you through the process, email . Please include your phone number in the email so we can contact you.
