Welcome
Welcome to United First Parish Church, a Unitarian Universalist congregation. Since 1639 (372 years!), this congregation has been home to an enduring tradition of liberal religion and a deeply held belief in social justice.
Worship Services are held Sundays at 10:30 a.m. from the Sunday after Labor Day until Mid-June. Services include music, readings, and a sermon by our minister, guest speaker or a member of the congregation. Our readings and sermons draw from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist spiritual writings, literature and poetry. Childcare service is available from 10:15 until 11:45. During the summer, congregation-led services are held in the parish hall.
After service, coffee and refreshments are served in the parish hall. Newcomers are especially welcome and are encouraged to come and ask questions at the Social Hour.
We are a Welcoming Congregation and a member of the Clara Barton and Massachusetts Bay Districts of Unitarian Universalist Congregations.

Featured Event:
Lite our Fire III: Chili & Chocolate Evening
3rd Annual
February 11th @ 6:30 PM
Please join us for our 3rd annual Valentine's fundraiser "Chili and Chocolate." Proceeds help us pay for heat, which in turn helps all the programs that run out of UFPC.
Featuring:

2) Create and bring a chili dish for our Chili Cook-Off. Pre-register with Pat Sullivan or Marsha Smith after the Sunday Service. We could use more chili chefs for such a popular event.
3) Contribute to the Chocolate Auction by providing home-made chocolate goodies. Get out the recipes, make those pastries and fudge, wrap them up pretty for Valentine's Day, mark them so we know what they are, and bring them in so that we have a lot of offerings on display.

We want to include; gift certificates solicited from local businesses like restaurants, hair/nail salons, bakeries, gyms; donations like theatre tickets, sports tickets; services like lawn care/gardening, snow removal, cater a meal, a tax service; lessons like a music or art lesson, a cooking lesson; rentals like a weekend vacation; High –quality items that are new or gently used with a value of $35 like small appliances, electronics, giftware; original pieces of arts and/or specialized hand crafts; and theme baskets.
Pat Sullivan has a packet to give vendors for anyone soliciting gift certificates from community businesses. Pat Artis is the coordinator for all other items. Please label your item with its estimated value. If offering a service or lesson be extremely clear on the details. Offers for services/lessons may given to Pat Artis or Pat Sullivan.
