First Parish Unitarian Universalist
Our Vision and PurposeWe are a caring and diverse faith community |
First Parish Unitarian Universalist (FPUU) of Canton, Massachusetts, is a diverse congregation of people from many walks of life, with a variety of previous religious backgrounds (or none) represented among us. Most would say their present spiritual paths are ever unfolding. We enjoy our differences, as well as our commonalities. Perhaps you will find yourself at home here, too.
Our rainbow flag outside represents our warm welcome to all who enter our yellow doors seeking a religious home, including gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people, as well as persons of all ages, races, ethnicities, classes, and physical abilities, as affirmed by our vote in January 2004 to be designated a "Welcoming Congregation."
Unitarian Universalism is a covenantal, not creedal, religion. This means our members do not profess to any prescribed doctrines or beliefs. Instead, we covenant with each other, affirming in a very practical sense how we want to live.
An Evening of One Acts, First Parish PlayersSaturday, May 18, 7:30 PM, Upper Parish HallFirst Parish Players will present four one-act plays. Tickets are $10. The comedy Life Line shows us a man circling in the endless loop of voice mail. In A Simple Task we face the challenge of starting a new job when a simple task seems absurdly difficult to complete in this light comedy. The Most Massive Woman Wins is both brutal and hilarious; four women of various shapes and sizes explore their perceptions of body image sitting in the waiting room of a liposuction clinic. With Playwriting 101:The Rooftop Lesson we learn the craft of play writing. |
