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

Come and join us! Retired or Retiring? 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
Sacred Circles: 4th Tuesday of the month Time: 6pm
The objective of the group is to create a Sacred Circle Spirtual Small Group in our church. A welcoming space to all who are seeking for respite from the mundane world. A simple space to meet & welcome spirtual perspectives and conversations through a welcoming UU lens. This group meets in person only.
