Playground News:
An inspection of our playground noted some changes needed to make it safer, and we felt that it was important to make these changes immediately. You and your children might notice the differences in and around the ship! The monkey bars were lowered, the frame around the monkey bars taken out, non-skid strips added to the ramp, and mesh attached to the inside of the top railing. We are very excited about these improvements!

Registration for RE:
Registration doesn’t obligate you to attend every Sunday, but it does give us important information that can keep your kids safe when they do attend (such as allergies or emergency numbers)! If you haven’t registered your family for RE yet, you can do it HERE.

Volunteering in RE:
Have you volunteered for RE? It’s simple and a lot of fun, whether you’re a parent or not! It’s so meaningful to get to know our First Parish children and youth! Can you spare a few hours? Sign up with us HERE! Don’t see something that interests you or dates that fit into your calendar? Keep checking! Our winter schedule is coming soon!
