Summer Schedule

Fisherman’s Services

Sunday’s @ 8:30am

June -Labor Day

It should be a wonderful time where we all have the chance to share of some of our favorite poems. Then over the next 11 Sundays, we will be asking attendees to think of the serious, sad, funny, silly, weighty, or absurd subject you’d like to present over 10-15 minutes to a friendly, receptive audience.

We gather on the patio every Sunday through Labor Day weekend at 8:30 am or in the Chapel if it’s raining (or too darn hot). If you’ve never been before, we encourage you to give it a try.

At the present time, there are no plans to zoom any of the Fisherman’s Services. If that changes over the summer, we will let you know.


Coffee Hour

Every Sunday after service 11:00am (ish)

After the service, we gather in the Harvey Assembly Hall for fellowship and refreshments.  It is a great time to reconnect with friends and meet new people!

Coffee hour is organized by the Fellowship Committee, but staffed weekly by volunteers!   The easiest way to make sure there is always hot coffee and treats is to share hosting responsibilities. When is your turn? It depends on your last name- You can find the schedule and more info here:  2025 volunteer schedule

Thank you in advance for helping with this well loved weekly event!  If you are new to “hosting” it’s easy.  Directions are here: Coffee Host Instructions

First Parish Duxbury members elected Darrah Bryans as First Parish’s Minister.

We are delighted to announce that Darrah Bryans will be joining First Parish UU church beginning in August of 2025!  Darrah will be FPC’s 29th minister since the year 1627.

Darrah earned her Masters of Divinity at the Boston University School of Theology in May of 2023. She completed her preliminary fellowship in 2024 and she is currently the Sabbatical and Intern Minister at First Parish Needham. Her ordination will take place later this spring.

Darrah’s experience includes years as a Membership Development and Communications Coordinator for First Parish Sherborn (her home congregation); as a School Programs Teacher at Natick Community Organic Farms; as a Brew Master at the Brew Moon Microbrewery and Restaurant in Cambridge; and as a Business Owner / Administrative Assistant, for a Smart House Consortium business that she and her husband started.

For more on Darrah see her website: https://darrahbryans.com/.

Amazing things happen when we get together.

We gratefully acknowledge the Patuxet Wampanoag People on
whose ancestral lands we gather today. We commit to support and honor their history and culture.
