We are a very active church with various events happening all the time. If you would like to know what is coming up please check out our Calendar.
Some of our annual events are as follows:
Fellowship Auction
The auction is a new tradition at First Parish. Our members are encouraged to auction off homemade goods or events that are then auctioned off as a fundraiser for the church and used as way for our members to get to know each other better. Some of last years hits were homemade pies & breads, lunch on a sailboat, New England Revolution Tickets and a Sermon!

Summer Block Party
A new tradition that started in 2018, is our end of summer block party. This gives us a chance to reconnect after the summer and before the church year begins. Live music, a bounce house, bake sale and community! We couldn't ask for anything more.

Balloon Sunday
Every spring we have a special service to welcome in the warmth & blissfulness of spring. This service is multi-generational and focuses on happiness. After all, what spreads happiness faster than leaving with a free balloon?

Blessing of the Animals
At the end of the church year, which falls in Mid-June, we celebrate the beginning of summer by having our service outside with all of our pets and finish with a church potluck dinner.

Forest of Light
Every year we fill our front lawn with Christmas trees that are sponsored by community members & local businesses. We light these trees the same night as Taunton's annual Lights On! Celebration and are on display through the month of December.
