Adult Programs and Events
Some events are in person while others on Zoom, while some are on hold until further notice as we ease our way through the pandemic.
First Church offers a wide variety of programs throughout the year to engage adults. In addition to the ongoing programs listed below, the community takes occasional day trips to local theaters, seminaries, and houses of worship to explore spirituality and faith in the wider community. Pilgrimages to places of religious significance, such as the Celtic island of Iona in Scotland or to the Holy Land, offer participants indelible opportunities for understanding and fellowship beyond the building. Adults also occasionally partner with First Church youth groups on service trips.
The John P. Webster Library, along with First Church’s pastoral staff, sponsors frequent programs for adults. Programs on relationships, Islam, antiracism, climate change, social justice, home improvement, and gardening are just a few of the topics we have explored in recent years.
