There are times in our lives when what is before us is more clear than what has come before. Liminal times require us to touch the heart of our faith with tenderness, with an open heart, and with the courage to change.

There are NO programs for kids and youth this weekend as all of our R.E. staff are off for the holiday weekend. Stay tuned for some great June programs!

Ways to Help Stop Global Warming – Quantified

Car internal combustion engines produce about 20 lbs. of CO₂ for every one gallon of gasoline burned which is about 6 lbs. of gasoline burned. So, for a nominal car mileage of 20 miles per gallon, car internal combustion engines produce about 1 lb. of CO₂ for 1 mile driven.

Drive cars less 

Walk, bike, carpool, take mass transit – 10,000 miles not driven per year saves 10,000 lbs. of CO₂ per year.

Keep tires properly inflated

Improves mileage by about 3 % – 10,000 miles driven per year results in a saving of 300 miles per year which saves 300 lbs. of CO₂ per year.

From choir rehearsals to Soul Matters, Building Bridges to Meditation Group, Urban Ministry to Democracy Team, Climate Action Team to Youth Groups and all of the other wonderful ways to get involved here at First Parish, please check the church calendar.

Submissions for The Weekly Update are due by the end of day, Mondays. To submit an article or information for consideration, please use this form.
