First Parish will NOT have worship during the month of July.

Sunday Services resume August 4th at 10:30 am and will feature various guest preachers. There will be no church school or childcare.

We will not have Sunday worship on Labor Day weekend, but we will kick off the new program year with Homecoming Sunday on Sunday, September 8th!
