In her book, Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers, Anne Lamotte shares a philosophy of using prayer to ask for guidance, offer gratitude and express wonder.

Riffing off this theme, the Transition Team would like to say, “WOW, THANKS, HELP”.

WOW:

HELP:

Stay with us!

In the next several weeks, we will continue to explore First Parish Identity.
We’ll shift from exploring our individual spiritual identities to considering the identity of First Parish as a spiritual community.

We’ll begin with a series of workshops to clarify the VALUES of First Parish.

We’ll explore the beliefs & principles that inform how we act.
We’ll explore what is important to us as a church that should guide us as we make future decisions.

Your continued involvement is critical!
