SUMMARY:Summer 2023 Online Service: September 3
DESCRIPTION:On the Nature of Things: Atoms\, the Void\, and Nothing More\nDavid Dreyfus\, Worship Leader \nHow do we think of gods\, life\, death\, existence\, purpose? 2100 years ago Lucretius\, a Roman poet\, wrote an epic poem that built on the earlier teachings of Epicurus\, which was rediscovered in the 15th-century. There is\, perhaps\, much we can contemplate on our own spiritual journeys based on this sensuous\, earlier account. \nDavid Dreyfus has been attending First Parish for about 10 years and participates in many aspects of community life here. He has chaired the finance committee\, participates on property\, helps in the kitchen\, facilitates a men’s group\, engages in discussion groups\, and actively participates in Lectio Divina as part of a very active spiritual journey. \n\nFor the month of September\, the Giving First recipient is UU Mass Action.\nHalf the collection will go to that group;\nThe remaining half supports the life and work of this Parish.\nTo donate using your smartphone\, you may text\n“fpuu offering” to 73256. Then follow the directions in\nthe texts you receive.\n\n\n\nView or Download the Order of Service \n[Please note: The Order of Service is generally posted on the Thursday or Friday prior to the Sunday service.] \n\nClick to Join Worship Virtually \nOr use your phone to participate with audio only by dialing 929-205-6099 then enter 859 7713 3204 followed by the pound key.

SUMMARY:Summer 2023 Online Service: August 27
DESCRIPTION:Reckoning When Redemption is Impossible \nReckoning & Repair (Amy Anderson)\, Worship Leader \n\n\nWhen we have suffered physical and spiritual harm—when we have experienced losses that can never be fully restored—what is the value of an acknowledgement or apology from the one who has harmed us? Stemming from work with the Reckoning and Repair Working Group\, we will look at historical instances of harm and reflect on the question\, If there can be no such thing as true redemption—a full restoration of what has been lost—what is the point of even reckoning with the harm? \n\n\nFor the months of June\, July and August\, half of the\noffering supports two recipients:\nThe Mass Building Electrification Accelerator\n(http://www.electrifybuildings.org/)\nand Educate Girls Now\n(https://educategirlsnow.org/).\nThe remaining half supports the life and work of this Parish.\nTo donate using your smartphone\, you may text\n“fpuu offering” to 73256. Then follow the directions in\nthe texts you receive.\n\n\n\nView or Download the Order of Service \n[Please note: The Order of Service is generally posted on the Thursday or Friday prior to the Sunday service.] \nClick to Join Worship Virtually
