Please join us on July 10 at 10 a.m. for a service on the theme, “Telling the Bees.” Telling the bees about life events — a death, a birth, a new home — is an ancient tradition. It was believed that keeping important family news from the bees might cause them to stop making honey, or leave the hive, or even die. Humans have had a long and beautiful relationship with honey bees, and many of the world’s religions hold bees and honey in special regard. The First Parish Bee Team will talk about what bees teach us. The service will be led by Ann Gordon and Nan Jahnke. Kathie Schmidt will serve as Lay Minister.

Our summer services, typically led by parishioners, offer a chance to come together for lively discussion and reflection on different topics. They include a presentation, readings, and meditations. A Lay Minister will be present each Sunday.
