Special Congregational Meeting and Luncheon
Sunday, September 21, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
Margaret Jewett Hall and via Zoom

Drawing on the work begun by the Assets Group three years ago, the Parsonage Working Group has spent many months exploring the best ways to utilize the asset of the 44 Garden Street property and ensure long-term housing support for our lead minister. We have now reached the point in our discernment process for the congregation to vote on a plan of action. Please join us for this important meeting, where First Church members will be asked to make their voice heard through our democratic meeting process. Lunch and child care will be provided. All are welcome!
