Music is a big part of worship at First Parish. We have several choirs for people of all ages, from the very youngest in Carol Choir to adult in the Senior Choir. and a Handbell Choir. Guest musician, often talented members of our congregation, play sometimes too.

In addition Sunday Morning Service, there are opportunities for or informal music making. Music at our evening service is provided by volunteers from within our community. First Parish is also the home of the Voices of Light Choir, a mixed voice choir that sings in local retirement homes and  through the year.
