Please join us at First Parish in Wayland on August 7 at 10am for a service that explores: “On Being Late.” Lateness carries with it the pejorative of procrastination, of being slow to understand, to arrive, act, to “get with the program.” For the timely, there’s the familiar impatience of waiting. With all the cultural admonitions to be early and quick, what can we learn when we are late? This service will explore the spiritual discernment possible in lateness, in coming late to the table, in accepting the things and people and feelings that do not show up “on time.” The service will be led by E. A. Miller Mlcak. Lynne Morrison 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.
