Religious Education

Neighboring Faiths (7th grade) will meet in the parlor to discuss their recent visit to a Quaker meeting.
All other children and youth will gather in the meetinghouse for a multigenerational worship service.

RE Teacher Needed!

We are in need of one more adult volunteer to work with our fabulous 5th and 6th graders this term. The commitment is for 2 Sundays per month, now through May. Please contact reassistant@fpmilton.org

Are you interested in becoming a member of First Parish?

We will be welcoming and celebrating new members during a service in March, and we hope that all who attend services, social events, and spiritual development programs will consider making their membership official at this time. If you are interested, please contact membership@fpmilton.org and save the dates for the two New Member Orientation sessions on March 3 and March 13.
