- Dear Visitor,
- Welcome to the First Parish of Sudbury, a lively, liberal congregation nearly 375 years old, but that continues to make history and change lives in this present moment.
- Like you, I am a newcomer to this congregation. As interim pastor, I'm on the scene for just one year while the search is underway for a long term, settled minister.
- But what drew me to this parish may be the same things that will attract you: people who are committed to creating an inclusive, just community both inside and outside the walls of this beautiful old meetinghouse ... the value placed here on supporting families and children in their spiritual growth and maturation ... the depth of relationships that connect individuals to each other and to their own highest selves.
- Like all Unitarian Universalist churches, First Parish contains a healthy variety of perspectives, insuring that wherever you find yourself on the path, you'll discover not only fellow travelers who think like you, but others to challenge your opinions, helping us all to learn to love across our differences and glimpse the infinite in every single person.
- You'll discover information on our congregation's website about our programs and services, from caring circles to concerts to parenting workshops. But perhaps the best way to get acquainted is by visiting us on Sunday morning. If you have questions about the church, about our UU faith, or just want to talk, my door is always open.
- Come as you are: gay or straight, in dungarees or high heels, whether Christian, atheist, Buddhist or Jew. In the spirit of radical hospitality, we invite you to join us, to share your wisdom and add your unique gifts to our midst.
- Once again, Bienvenido, Namaste, Welcome. I look forward to meeting you.

Calendar
Gary will lead a book discussion group starting January 8 from 7:00-8:30 pm in the Brackett Room using Huston Smith's classic The World's Religions, an eight week tour of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Primal Traditions. The class is free and open to the public, but you might want to add this book to your Christmas list if you want to participate. Please note: we will be using the non-illustrated version of Smith's book. The pictures are nice, but the text is much abbreviated in the illustrated edition.
Our speaker will be Peg Espinola, who will talk about her experiences creating her music. Have you ever wondered how Peg and other musicians come upon ideas for their compositions? Just how does the "creative process" happen for them? Peg will discuss this subject and illustrate by playing and singing some of her own songs. It should be a fascinating hour, so do join us on Tues., Feb. 28th!
