First Parish in Wayland: Release, January 15

Please join us on Jan. 15 at 10 a.m. for a service on the theme: “Release.” As we celebrate the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this weekend, we remember the life and legacy of artist Winfred Rembert. Born in the Jim Crow South, Rembert endured imprisonment in multiple forms. Released in 1974, Winfred would put his story into art. John Thompson, Rembert’s friend and First Parish member, will share a reflection and show some of Rembert’s work.

For in-person attendance, please see our latest Covid protocols online here. You may also watch our services on YouTube or contact our office for Zoom information. To sign up for our newsletter, click here.
