SUMMARY:Journey Inward through Meditation and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:A Journey Inward – A creative meditation through mask making. \nJoin us on Sunday\, March 3 from 2:00 – 3:30 for a creative journey inward through meditation and mask making. \nSpace is limited; please register via Realm at this link by Friday\, March 1. \nAny questions\, or if you would like to register but do not have a Realm account\, email Lyn Fulton-John at star@firstparish.info \nFull description: What’s behind the mask? While they are often used to protect or obscure\, they can also be used to reveal\, enhance\, and embellish. Through guided meditation\, participants will have an opportunity to think about something about themselves that they might like to bring into focus. We will have the chance to use and play with different artistic media\, such as colored tissue\, paint\, bits of jewelry\, and much more\, to create the masks we wish to explore. \n(Materials will be provided\, but feel free to bring whatever you may like to use for making your own mask!)

SUMMARY:Looking at Others and Ourselves
DESCRIPTION:We will take time to observe photographs and narratives on display in the Parlor which the photographer\, Jess Dugan\, says “offer a nuanced view into the struggles and joys of growing older as a transgender person and offer a poignant reflection on what it means to live authentically despite seemingly insurmountable odds.”\nAfter reflecting quietly on our experiences of these human stories of struggles and joys we will take turns sharing how we are affected and listening closely to each other.\nAll are welcome! However\, we will close the doors when we start so we can have a clear focus and hold each other’s views and feelings without interruptions. \nThe conversation will be facilitated by Zoë Stewart

SUMMARY:Land Acknowledgment Listening Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Indigenous Justice Working Group (IJWG) to share your thoughts about the draft of our Land Acknowledgment for First Parish! \n\nIJWG has drafted a land acknowledgment based on our learning to date\, and solicited input from Indigenous leaders\, as well as our own ministers and members of the Social Justice Committee (SJC). We hope to bring this to a congregational vote later this year.\n\n  \nLand Acknowledgement Listening Sessions\n● Virtual Only –Wednesday 1/24 (7pm) by Zoom\n● In Person Only –Sunday 1/28 (11:45am) Parlor post-service\n\n  \nDRAFT LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO CONSIDER: The First Parish meetinghouse is located on the ancestral lands of the Massachusett people\, whose name was appropriated by this Commonwealth.  The White Europeans who took land from its inhabitants through coercion and violence also subjected Indigenous people to forced labor\, relocation\, and genocide. Our faith calls us to acknowledge the truth of our history\, to name the ongoing harms of settler colonialism\, and to work toward repair. We commit to being in right relationship with the Massachusett and other Indigenous peoples\, particularly the Mashpee and Aquinnah Wampanoag\, and to finding meaningful ways to offer our resources as we work in solidarity to build a more sustainable future for us all.\n  \nFor more information please visit the IJWG webpage and check out the Acknowledging This Land handout for highlights of our process and action to date.
