Audio and Transcripts of Recent Sermons [ 2010-03-12 09:31 ]
The new audio system in the sanctuary is making it far easier to post audio from the services on the Web. In addition, in this church year we are making a more assiduous effort to get sermon transcripts posted. To listen to a sermon, click the audio link to open an audio player in a new window; or right-click (on a Mac, ctrl-click) to download and save it to your computer. Transcript links also open in a new window.You can visit the Sermons page for links to all the audio and transcripts of sermons that we have in hand (not just this year’s).

Keeping the Home Fires Burning at First Parish — A Special One-Time Request [ 2010-03-11 12:45 ]
With the annual giving mailing set for the first week of February, members and friends of First Parish Church are asked to renew — or begin for the first time — financial support of this beautiful community.Special One-Time Gift: This year, once you have decided on how you can continue to grow in generosity with your pledge for annual support of the church, all who can are being asked to dig even deeper and make a special one time pledge or gift (payable over two years) toward the cost of replacing our ancient and odd oil heating systems in the Meeting House and Parish House with entirely new, highly efficient, cost-saving gas systems.
Our New Gas Heating System: Up and running for several weeks now, these new systems are giving us cleaner air inside and outside, lower fuel and maintenance costs, extensive alarm systems, and greater ability to heat just the spaces we want to heat, as we use them. We are confident that the contractor chosen for the job — Weather Wise, of Brookline, NH — and the cost, $64,170, are the best possible. If you want to know more about the process, contractor, design, and equipment, please speak to any of the trustees; they can steer you to the experts.
