Tuesday, September 30, Sanctuary, 7-8pm. Join us for a special program supporting our immigrant and refugee neighbors, workmates, and friends. We will meet with our state representatives, Senator Tarr and Representative Shand, to advocate for two bills currently before the legislature that are designed to provide some measure of protection to those being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by limiting state agencies from cooperating with ICE. Many of us are disturbed and angered by the actions of this administration and wonder what we can do to show our support for members of the immigrant and refugee community. One thing we can do is turn out in force to meet our legislators so they understand how important these bills are to us. Please join us on September 30 to learn more about these bills and to demonstrate our community’s commitment to standing up for immigrants and refugees.
Contact 508-215-9469; meets in the Parish Hall as of 10/7/25.
First Wednesdays beginning October 1, LMH Room A, 8:15-9:15am
Join FRS member and LICSW Woman Cooper on Wednesdays at 10am for a brief period of mid-week relaxation and renewal.

Weekly on Wednesdays, Robing Room, 10-11am. Centering Prayer is a form of Christian Contemplative Meditation. The purpose of this meditation is not to clear the mind as much as it is to open oneself to the presence of the Divine and invite the action of the Divine within. No previous experience or training is required. This form of Contemplative prayer is a practice in resting in the presence of God through non-thinking surrender and to form a deeper relationship with the Divine. Centering Prayer will be led by Cynthia Tolbert. All are welcome. Please contact Rev. Jane Tuohy at jane.tuohy@frsuu.org or 617-359-0079 if you have questions.

Wednesday, October 1, Sanctuary, 6pm. Join Rev. Rebecca, Nick Place, and friends for this service of reflection, atonement, and forgiveness. For many of us the first place we discover what needs to be healed is in the deep waters of grief. You are not alone. Spend time together. Rev. Rebecca will be offering a reflection, with Nick playing music. Everyone will be invited to participate in a ritual.
