What a beautiful night of worship!

We’re so thankful for everyone who joined us for an evening of lifting our voices, turning our hearts toward God, and worshiping together.

Whether you were there with us or are seeing this for the first time, we pray this little glimpse of the evening encourages you.

We look forward to gathering together again!

**THIS SATURDAY!**

Come join an evening of songs and stories featuring worship leader Jason Everett (Cross) and friends, including a professional rhythm section and brass and horn players from around the region. There will be opportunities to sing along to familiar songs, listen to new songs, as well as hear some of the stories that inspired them.

These are stories about faith, hope, doubt, grace, and the things that matter most. Maybe faith has always been part of your life. Maybe you’ve been away from church for years. Maybe you’ve found yourself thinking about God again lately. Or maybe you’re simply curious.

Wherever you are, you are welcome here.

A free community dinner will follow the concert.

No tickets. No admission charge. No pressure.

Whether you're a familiar face or joining us for the first time, we hope you'll join us.

Our September Saturdays @ First Parish event is a hike and picnic at the summit of Mount Wachusett! We'll meet at 9 AM in the church parking lot, THIS Saturday, September 19th and drive to Wachusett together. Please be sure to bring a picnic lunch with you. Once there, you can drive to the summit, or hike to the top! The hike is a little over a mile and not too difficult.

We hope to see you there. Feel free to invite a friend or neighbor along with you!

And be sure to save the date for our next Saturday event: An Evening of Songs and Stories, a night of praise and worship on October 17 at 5 PM. More details to come!

VBS was a blast this week at First Parish! A huge thank you to all our volunteers and trekkers for making learning about how Jesus comes to seek and save an incredible experience. See you next year!

We had a great time kicking off Summer @ First Parish with our creative writing class last week and we are so looking forward to next week's classes!

Over the course of the week, students learned about the elements of story, drafted their own short stories, studied various forms of poetry and wrote their own poems! They studied haiku, narrative, acrostic, cinquain, and more! What a great way to learn a little bit more about our God: author and creator of the universe!

VBS, Coding & Robotics, and Beginners Chess are all running next week. Enrollment for Chess is closed (check back in for summer 2027!), but there's still time to sign up for VBS and Robotics!
