Dear First Parish Church,

As summer arrives, we are reminded of God’s invitation to find renewal in every season. Longer days, family gatherings, vacations, and community celebrations offer opportunities to experience joy, rest, and connection.

Our church continues to be a place where faith grows through worship, service, and fellowship. Whether you are traveling, spending time with loved ones, or enjoying the beauty of God’s creation close to home, I encourage you to remain connected to your faith and to one another.

This summer, we have several opportunities to gather, serve, and celebrate together. I hope you will join us for worship, special events, and outreach activities as we continue to share Christ’s love within our community.
