Building Bridges and Intentional Community
Sunday, Apr. 02, 2023
10:00 am

Our mission at First Parish Church in Taunton is to Inspire, Connect, and Serve. ​
 We all want to be part of and belong to a community, and when we are intentional about being part of communities that lift up our values and principles and push us to live into our best selves, there is a power and beauty that is often created that helps us feel seen and wholly accepted. All are welcome to join us this Sunday as we explore all that can come from being part of the Intentional Community, we will continue to build this summer on Star Island during our annual Building Bridges retreat. 
​
 Faith Formation

This week our Chalice Children, Jr. and Sr. Youth will focus on how the moments in life that ask us to join with others can help us to be our best selves. Through games projects and group discussions, youth will explore how by being intentional about the communities and groups they surround themselves with, they can truly live into their values and principles 

** There will be no Sr. Youth OWL: Taking Flight class this Sunday as April will be leading service. Sr. Youth are welcome to join the Jr. Youth group in the loft or stay in service. Taking Flight will resume next week, April 9th.


Adult Faith Formation
Reminder our Adult Faith Formation: Spring Soul Matters Class is Monday night from 6-8 pm! Join us as we share the Spiritual Question (found on page 5 of the packet) we each chose, and explored this past week. For those unfamiliar, our Soul Matters group is a wonderful way to participate in the spiritual practice of deep listening that takes us beyond the question of “What do you think?” and invites us into the deeper one of “Where are you willing to let your faith take you?. If you have any questions, please reach out to April Rosario at dre@firstparishtaunton.org

Soul Matters
Monday Nights - March 6 thru May 1 at 6 PM

Our Soul Matters group is a wonderful way to meet folks from church and deepen relationships while participating in a spiritual practice that takes us beyond the question of “What do you think?” and invites us into the deeper one of “Where are you willing to let your faith take you?”

Outdoor Easter Egg Hunt
Sunday April 9th after service

Our Dir. of Faith Formation and Family Ministry, April Rosario, is beginning preparations for our annual Easter Egg Hunt and could use some help. We are in need of Easter egg-hunting bags, plastic eggs, and treats. If you would like to donate some supplies, we would be most appreciative. Items can be brought to service on Sunday or dropped off at her office during the week. If you have any questions, please feel free to email April.
