Rev. Kit Novotny &
Rev. Nate Klug
Revs. Kit and Nate began as Co-Ministers of First Parish in Lincoln in August 2022. They are drawn to FPL’s vision of a warm and inclusive spiritual community, its passion for environmental and racial justice, and its interest in intellectual and artistic engagement. They look forward to working within a creative ministry model to lead this historic congregation in its next chapter.
Nate and Kit are graduates of Yale Divinity School and were both ordained in the United Church of Christ in 2013. They served separate churches in Iowa and the Bay Area of California before returning home to Massachusetts, where they both grew up.
Kit and Nate share a passion for transformative preaching, and for helping children, youth, and adults discover joy and surprise in their spiritual journeys — however they seek and name the sacred.
Nate is a poet and essayist and the author, most recently, of Hosts and Guests (Princeton University Press). He teaches at the Graduate Theological Union and Dominican University’s MFA program. Kit has a background in professional theater and improvisation and is a certified yoga instructor with training in Trauma Sensitive Yoga. She is a member of the Next Generation Leadership Initiative (NGLI), a program for younger UCC clergy identified as promising leaders in co-creating “the Church of the Future.”
Nate and Kit live in nearby Concord with their three children, Zoe, Gwendolyn, and Felix. When they’re not at church or chasing their children, they love a strong cup of coffee and the beauty of the New England seasons.

Sarah Klockowski
Sarah joined our staff in 2019, bringing enormous talent and presence to a new position at First Parish. Along with significant religious training in an interfaith, justice-oriented context she is experienced in organization and program development within a church setting.
Born and raised in New England, Sarah has also lived in Texas, on the island of Saipan, where she served as a Youth Pastor and High School Educator for five years, and most recently New York City. She holds an MA in Biblical Languages from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and an MDiv with a concentration in Social Ethics from Union Theological Seminary. Sarah’s academic interests are in theologies of embodiment and liberation, and her ongoing writing projects work to integrate the two — particularly as it pertains to fat embodiment.

Miranda Loud
Growing up in Lincoln, Miranda had many fond experiences of attending events at the First Parish and events up at the Stone Church. After majoring in Music at Wellesley College, she pursued a Master’s of Music in Organ Performance and Literature at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. In 1994 she was a semifinalist in the Chartres International Organ Competition in France. From Eastman, she moved to New York City where she worked as an organist and concert producer of multi-media themed concerts and worked as Associate Organist at St. James’ Episcopal Church on Madison Avenue for three years. She moved back to the Boston area, and became Music Director at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Weston where she worked for seven years and developed the choirs as well as an extensive concert series.
In 2000 she started focusing on singing professionally, taking vocal workshops and regular voice lessons. She was awarded a Banff Music Fellowship in 2006 to work on a multimedia performance about reconnecting to nature. While on the residency she was accepted as a contestant in the Handel Aria Competition in London where she met Harry Christophers who became conductor of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston. Since 2001 she has sung with the Handel and Haydn Society Chorus and is performing in Handel’s Saul this season.
In 2007 she had a formative experience at the Findhorn ecovillage training course in Scotland and decided to merge her love of nature and animals with music, video and photography. This led to ten years founding and running the non-profit Naturestage, and creating several nature-themed concerts including the Elephant Project, Buccaneers of Buzz: Celebrating the Honeybee and the One Language Project, www.onelanguageproject.com which is an ongoing catalogue of stories – photoessays and healing-focused video interviews to show people acting with compassion and respect for an animal they know and love.
In recent years she has focused on her development as a painter and you can find her work at www.mirandaloudartist.com. Her calendar of Cambridge cafés – a collaboration with food writer Corkie White sold over 750 copies before the pandemic.
All along, Miranda has worked at various churches as a part-time or substitute organist to keep active her joy in organ and choral music. She feels very lucky to be starting her fourth season as the Music Director at First Parish where she can work with the choirs and continue to explore the elements and power of music in healing and building community and helping guide the worship services.
