Monthly Charitable Offerings Schedule

In fiscal year 2006-07, the First Parish began a new program of monthly offerings to benefit local, national and international organizations. This means that on a designated Sunday every month (usually the third Sunday), all the loose offering and checks made out to the designated organization will be given to that organization. Let these monthly offerings be a sign of our generosity as a congregation
