A Message From Our Minister
Summer 2026
The First Parish pulpit will get a workout this summer! While I’m away enjoying a combination of rest and study, our stellar lay preachers will bring their eclectic interests to the joy of Sunday worship. That wide range of offerings includes a Pagan celebration of Lughnasadh, a spiritual exploration of “The Lord of the Rings,” and a tribute to civil rights heroes Bayard Rustin, Rev. James Lawson, and Fannie Lou Hamer.
I look forward to my return on August 23 when we’ll celebrate our third annual service devoted to Baseball Theology before heading over for an afternoon with the Sea Dogs. All these rich and varied offerings tumble us forward to Ingathering on September 13, and the beautiful ritual of Water Communion.
While summer headlines may give us cause for concern, we read them knowing that the year ahead will be spent together, in this loving and active and forward-moving community.
Wishing you all the joy of summer in Maine!
Greetings from First Parish!
