Registration is required – please register online. \nOpen Small Group discussions are events where folks from all across different areas and ways of engaging with First Parish will talk about Search and our congregation together. \nFocus Group discussions are events that intentionally create space for voices from communities that make up minority populations in our congregation to be amplified\, allowing the Search Committee to hear from folks whose perspectives may be less prevalent in Open Small Groups. The goal of Focus Groups is inclusion in the Search process for as many perspectives as possible. To achieve this goal\, it is sometimes necessary to facilitate spaces where minority voices do not have to compete with majority voices to be heard. \nEach event is a one-time gathering. Each Focus Group is limited to 12 participants or less and will happen via Zoom. Open Small Group events will offer multiple concurrent discussions with 12 or fewer participants. To leave space for others to participate\, please do not register for multiple Open Small Group dates. If you would like to attend more than one Focus Group\, or to attend both an Open Small Group and a Focus Group\, you will need to fill out this form once for each. As you decide how to participate in this part of the Search process\, please be mindful of the goal to include as many unique participants as possible across the whole slate of events. \nQuestions or having difficulty registering? Please reach out the Search Committee at settled-search@firstparish.info \nOPEN SMALL GROUPS: \n\nZoom open small groups #1 — Oct. 24\, 2pm\, Zoom\nIn-person open small groups #1 — Oct. 25\, after worship/12pm\, FPUUA\nZoom open small groups #2 — Oct. 25\, after worship/12pm\, Zoom\nZoom open small groups #3 — Oct. 30\, 6pm\, Zoom\nIn-person open small groups #2 — Nov. 1\, after worship/12pm\, FPUUA\nZoom open small groups #4 — Nov 1\, after worship/12pm\, Zoom\n\nFOCUS GROUPS: \n\nJewish congregant’s focus group — Oct. 13\, 7pm\, Zoom\nNon-parents focus group — Oct. 15\, 7pm\, Zoom\nLGBTQIA+ focus group — Oct. 19\, 7pm\, Zoom\nSingles focus group — Oct. 20\, 7pm\, Zoom\nFamilies with children focus group — Oct. 22\, 8pm\, Zoom\nAccess and disability focus group — Oct. 26\, 7pm\, Zoom\nYoung adults focus group — Oct. 27\, 7pm\, Zoom\nBIPOC congregant’s focus group — Oct. 29\, 7pm\, Zoom URL:https://www.firstparish.info/event/settled-search-focus-groups/2026-10-13/ LOCATION:Sanctuary and Zoom\, 630 Massachusetts Avenue\, Arlington\, MA\, 02476\, United States CATEGORIES:Church Business,Spotlight,Transition + Search END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
