First Parish of Watertown

The Green Sanctuary Committee wants all First Parish members to know that there have been some changes in what the town of Watertown now accepts for curbside recycling. These changes are a big step towards making Watertown a greener community. Most Watertown residents have now received the brochure from the town informing us about the recycling procedures, and the curbside pickup dates for 2008. Please read your brochure. Whereas Watertown only took #1 and #2 plastics before, they now take #1-7. Please save all your plastics for recycling, henceforth! Whereas the only cardboard that was acceptable before was corrugated cardboard, we are encouraged to recycle cereal boxes, shoe boxes, etc. See the brochure for details. Please participate in this expanded recycling program in Watertown. And if you are not a Watertown resident, we hope you are a busy recycler wherever you live!

With our early December snow storms this year you may be asking whether we ever close due to inclement weather. The easy answer is, No. The minister can walk to church, and therefore we will remain open even if it is snowing heavily. That does not mean you should come to church if travel conditions are poor. Please stay home, and be safe. If you can walk, or otherwise come to church safely, we would be happy to welcome you to a small, cozy fellowship group. It might even mean a short service!
