God promises, to all who trust in the gospel, forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end. Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God. Worship Worship in First Parish Church is open to everyone, regardless of background, religious or otherwise. Communion is offered to all, regardless of religion, who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month.
Prayer is integral to our worship.
Each week in the Prayer Concerns period of the Service, everyone in the congregation is given an opportunity and encouraged to identify people who have a need to be remembered in our prayers for any reason. On the last Sunday of each month in the Memorial Service period of the Service, everyone is given an opportunity and encouraged to identify, remember and hold in our prayers, any loved ones and friends who have died. During the Church News Sharing Time of each service, announcements are made by anyone in the congregation who has information about a current or future activity in the church and, when applicable, results of activities are also provided. The information verbally shared and the written information in the weekly Service of Worship Bulletins reflect the most current information available to all members and friends. Music is also an integral part of our worship.
