~ 1717 Covenant (adapted)

First Parish in Brookline is a caring community and sanctuary for diversity. A Welcoming Congregation in the Unitarian Universalist Association, we seek to make a place for all ages to experience and celebrate community, to teach and learn from each other in an environment guided by respect and love, and to actively work for social justice. Worship is deeply theological, musically inspired and intellectually challenging. We are united not by creed but by a belief that the human spirit needs tending and the struggle to live a moral and ethical life is transformative and essential. You’ll feel welcome here.

Our Mission Statement:

Called by Love, Sustained By Community, Committed to Justice

We strive to be a welcoming, diverse and loving congregation that nurtures spiritual growth for individuals and families, celebrates multicultural community, and works together to demand social justice, dismantle racism, and care for our living earth.

~ Adopted May 2015

What's Happening

Sunday Service

Sunday, January 27 at 11 am

The Rev. Johannah Murphy will be our guest preacher. Freshly ordained as a Unitarian Universalist minister in June, Jo says: "When I was in my last year of Divinity School, I was in the market for new worship spaces. As I delved into this search it became my thesis, a work that explored what it could mean to 'wear' worship. For my thesis I ended up creating actual pieces of worship to wear as I attempted to negotiate this space of worship in a physical, artistic manner. For this service we will explore together what it means to 'wear' worship, we might even get to don some worship and feel what it is to put on wearable worship!"

Lessons in Resilience from the Rural Andes

Friday, January 25, 6:30 pm

Indigenous people are remarkably resourceful, but many must leave their communities of origin. What’s next for the languages and cultures of communities affected by migration? Linguist and educator Sue Kalt will offer an evening of slides, music, and discussion of her work in the rural Andes to create a time capsule of the Quechua languages and cultures as spoken and practiced today. With live music and poetry by our Quechua/kichwa speaking neighbors in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Childcare will be provided.

Worship Services

Services are held Sundays at 11:00 am from September through June. Summer services begin at 10 a.m. in Lyon Chapel. Other celebrations are held at various times throughout the year.
