First Parish of Sudbury

Services at First Parish of Sudbury are held every Sunday at 10:00 am. In summer we begin with a continental breakfast at 9:30; the rest of the year, we enjoy coffee and conversation after worship at 11:15.

When you visit us for the first time, the first thing you may notice is our lovingly restored meetinghouse. For a moment, you will feel transported back in time to our town center as it was more than 200 years ago.  

Then you step inside. You hear the buzz of activity, the laughter of children, the cross-currents of conversations about meaning and ideas, projects and activities, issues and concerns. You feel the warmth and the engagement of this active congregation.

Seek. Learn. Celebrate. Advocate. Nurture. Serve. Each word contains layers of depth and meaning and, taken together, they express what matters most to us about this congregation nearing its 375th anniversary.

Join us for worship on Sunday mornings. Participate in an adult program for discussion or education or support. Create an oasis in your busy life. Enroll your children in a program of religious exploration that highlights the wonders and traditions of many of the world's religions; expose them to a program that encourages children of every age to make meanings for themselves and live by a set of values that promote human dignity, the democratic process, justice and compassion as well as the interdependence of all living things.

We embrace diversity and include all who share the principles and goals of our community. As a Welcoming Congregation; we have made the commitment to be intentional about welcoming the presence and participation of gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual persons in all aspects of our congregational life. Together we celebrate the interdependent web of existence of which we are all a part.

Here at First Parish, we are committed to minister to one another and to serve our community and our world. We are delighted to have you visit and hope you will return again and again. If you have any questions, please reach out to me or to anyone here at First Parish; we would love to chat about what's on your mind as well as about Unitarian Universalism and our First Parish community.

Minister:  Rev. Katie Lee Crane
