Lifespan Faith Formation Small Groups: Connect, Engage, Belong
It’s all about connections-to each other, to ourselves…Building community is to the collective as spiritual practice is to the individual. -Grace Lee Boggs
First Parish offers many different Faith Formation opportunities for adults, which vary each year. These provide opportunities for spiritual, social justice/action, and religious based discernment as an exploration of Unitarian Universalism.
Small Group Gatherings are the sacred spaces in between, where we take a moment to reflect and connect with others and ourselves. Beyond all the ways to engage at FPCC there are:
-
- Women’s Groups: New Women’s group soon… Beginning October 4th 2026
- Two Men’s Groups (one 55+)
- Sacred Circle Spiritual Group: 4th Tuesday at 6pm
- Retirees, 70’s plus Group: 2nd/3rd Sunday at 11:30ish
- Friday Night Families Game Night 7pm
- All Ages Family Jam Band: 2nd& 4th Sundays 1pm.
- Families Small Group Potluck Gatherings

Come and join us! Aging is arguably the most common and complex transformation we face. Regardless of what age we are. It simply never gets easier to move through the stages of our lives. But… we also know that two things in particular help: Stepping back to notice and name what is happening inside us and drawing wisdom from others who have already navigated the stage we are facing. Support and find ways to share and mentor those that follow.
Let’s Chat About It…The purpose of the group is to connect, participate, engage, support each other and others with the gifts, that we are. Tell your story. Do Something About It! Meet & Greets will be monthly and email to share group related events will be distributed per request to dre@uuchelmsford.org
