​
Dear Friends,

Join us Sunday, May 4th, for a special lay-led service titled “Food for the Soul: Imagine.” We’ll gather for connection, reflection, and inspiration as we explore the powerful message of John Lennon’s iconic song, ‘Imagine.’

This service offers a unique opportunity to reflect on our life’s journeys and share insights with one another in a welcoming and open space. Whether you’re a long-time member or a first-time visitor, you are warmly invited to participate.

What to Expect:
• A Thought-Provoking Exploration: We’ll delve into the lyrics of “Imagine” through a Unitarian Universalist lens, focusing on its call for peace, unity, and a world grounded in our shared humanity.
• Shared Meal & Fellowship: Immediately following the chalice lighting, we invite you to stay for food and fellowship – a chance to nourish both body and spirit and connect with our community.
• Joys & Concerns: We’ll create a sacred space to share our joys and concerns, lighting candles or placing objects in the Zen garden as a symbol of our shared human experience.
• Interactive Table Exercise: Engage in thoughtful conversation with others as we explore the themes of the service together.

As always, all are welcome here – whoever you are, whatever your background or beliefs. Come as you are and open yourself to the connections and reflections this service offers.
We look forward to sharing this meaningful time with you.

Warmly,
The All Souls Community”

April 27, 2024 BOLA Dinner & Raffle

Details: “‘Bola’ is First Parish’s annual Dinner & Raffle event. No one knows exactly where the name Bola came from, but we suspect it’s related to the ‘Tombola’ raffles that are popular at small-town fetes in England.

What does it look like at First Parish Stoughton? Dinner with a lot of fun and many chances to win prizes. One thing that makes Bola distinct is that if your raffle ticket wins a prize, it goes back into the basket and could win again! (Theoretically, one single ticket could win all the prizes! Though we’ve never seen that actually happen, we’ve seen plenty of instances where the same ticket won multiple prizes in a night.)

Bola 2024 will be April 27 at 6:00pm.

  • Dinner tickets are $15 for ages 13 and up; $7 for ages 12 and under

  • Dinner reservation deadline is Monday April 22

  • Dinner is a Pasta Blowout! Different kinds of pasta and sauce, Salad, Bread, and Dessert

  • Contact the office at 781-344-6800, office@firstparishstoughton.org BY APRIL 22 to make a reservation (be sure to indicate how many tickets, whether adult or kid tickets, and whether meat eater or vegetarian)

  • Raffle tickets are $1 each, 3 for $2, or 6 for $5 and are sold prior to as well as on the night of the BOLA dinner
