Delight:
Flower Communion
Sunday, June 04, 2023
10:00 am

Our mission at First Parish Church in Taunton is to Inspire, Connect, and Serve. ​

 All are welcome to join us this Sunday as we explore our need to open ourselves to delight and the fact that it sometimes gets buried by the messiness and busyness around us. We invite everyone to bring a flower with them this Sunday and join in celebrating the annual UU ritual of the Flower Communion Service, which began June 4, 1923, making this the 100th anniversary.

 Faith Formation

The theme of the month of June is Delight. This week our Chalice Children, Jr. Youth and Sr. Youth Groups will explore the importance of being open to delight and how delight can be found in things as simple as flowers.

** Childcare is available from 9:45 - 1:30 pm**
for the Annual Meeting

Friday Night Social Justice Film & Discussion
Friday June 2nd at 6 PM
In honor of PRIDE month, and for the last social justice film discussion of the year, we'll watch and discuss a documentary entitled For The Bible Tells Me So that explores the misuse of the bible to fan hate against the LGBTQ community. This documentary focuses on the lives of 5 families, two in the public eye, and the impact of the bible used as a vehicle of hate and historical misinterpretation. The overall meeting time is anticipated to be 6-8 PM in the minister's office or sanctuary commons, depending on the size of the group. Snacks will be provided, and all are welcome.

Annual Meeting
All are welcome to join us for our Annual Meeting on Sunday June 4th after service in the Commons. Every year we call upon the members of our congregation to approve our plans for the coming year, including our annual budget and board members. We’ll hear year-end summary updates from our Minister, Board Treasurer, and Building and Grounds Ministry, before casting our votes on next year’s budget, ratifying the Board of Trustees, and our vision for the coming year.

Pledge Campaign Potluck
Immediately after the Annual Meeting we will have a potluck lunch to celebrate the successful completion of our Pledge Campaign.  Plan on staying, sharing food, enjoying companionship and celebrating.   Bring your own lunch or a dish to share.
