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.
