Sunday Services

First Parish chaliceOn Sunday mornings in September through June, our Paul Revere bell rings at 10:20, calling the people to worship. As they enter, the organ or piano sets the mood for meditation or quiet visiting, and the service starts at 10:30.

Large print orders of service and hear assistance devices are available from an usher.

All are welcome to join us for Coffee Hour and Fellowship in the Parish Hall after the service around 11:30 AM. Nursery care is provided every Sunday.

If your children are attending for the first time, please introduce yourselves at the Religious Education Office prior to the service.
