Join us for services at 10:30am on Sundays, from the Sunday after Labor Day through late spring. Experience elements of the world religions, including our Christian roots and humanism. Find inspiration in choral and instrumental music (including organ), congregational singing, a time for children, readings, an offering, and meditative silence. Hear a sermon on social justice, spirituality, dealing with life’s challenges, or other issues. We may celebrate a holiday, act out a skit, hold a coming-of-age ceremony, or hear a member’s Journeys of Faith. Services end around 11:30am and are usually followed by a 30-minute fellowship gathering. For a relaxed service with music from the jazz tradition, come to a Jazz Vespers. Our Christmas Eve service and Christmas Candlelight service are community traditions.

Justice Sunday - Banned Books, 11:30am-1pm, Lower Meetinghouse Please join us for our 1st Justice Sunday! Each month throughout most of the church year, we will host a program focused on the justice work that takes place within and beyond our congregation. Programs take place after Sunday worship and start with a community soup & salad lunch, followed by a justice program. Banned Books Week is an annual event that highlights the value of free and open access to information and that brings communities together in shared support of the freedom to seek and express ideas. Reverend Laurel and Mara Flynn, Director of Youth and Children's Ministry will be leading a program with support from August Mead and Rebecca Lobb that will include information from the American Library Association about censorship, book readings and calls to action. The FRS Youth Group will be hosting this event! Please click below if you are able to provide a soup! Justice Sunday Soup Sign Up
