Vespers Service - Diving in Deeper
As the light wanes, the season can be an invitation to depth. Join Deb Weiner and Annie Gonzalez Milliken for an evening candlelight service at 7:30 PM in the Bacon Room.

The theme will be "Diving in Deep." With song, readings, sharing, candles, arts and food, we will explore how the season of waning light can be an invitation to depth through crafts and care.  There will be a group art project! There will be pie! Come and take a moment to lean into the dark with us!

Don’t miss our family-friendly concert (and dinner) on November 16th!
Kemp Harris, the teacher/actor/singer who has been at First Parish to share storytelling and music with our congregation and youth, has a fabulous band (blues/funk is the predominant style) and they’re coming to First Parish for a concert on November 16th at 7:30 PM. Tickets are available online: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4410726 and we encourage you not to wait: Kemp’s concerts tend to sell out. Prices are also family-friendly: $15 for adults; $10 for students and seniors. AND wait, there’s more: a pulled pork supper will be served, beginning at 6 PM for First Parish folks (the concert’s open to the public, however). Come, eat, celebrate!! Child care will be available for little ones.

Exciting New Show in The Gallery@First Parish

The Gallery Committee is very pleased to announce that award-winning Boston area artist, David Moore will be the featured artist for our November-December show. David’s work is inspired by both music and nature, while a sense of place also greatly influences his art. Cate McQuaid, Boston Globe Correspondent, has described David’s paintings as “downpours of color, precise verticals so deeply layered that the momentum of the straight, downward line envelops and imprints itself on the viewer”. You may already know David, as Janet Welby’s husband.

For more information about David Moore go to to: http://lessismoore.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=3473&Akey=W9NQWB46&ajx=1#!asset62908.

There will be a reception on Sunday, Nov. 17 from 11:30am-12:30pm.

Parish Council is a critical vehicle for coordinating and organizing all of the work done here at First Parish. A busy fall delayed the start to our meetings this year, so we will have our kick-off at 11:45 on November 17th. Every committee should have their chair or a representative at each meeting. Also, be sure you've taken a moment to confirm your committee's membership for this year with Joan Petros.

Our next session of Trans Inclusion in Congregations, a video course by the Transforming Hearts Collective, will be on November 17 after church from noon - 2 PM in the Common Room. This session will focus on gender and patriarchy. If you haven’t yet and want to participate, please sign up at bit.ly/transinclusionFPB

Women's Book Group November Meeting

Please join us! We'll be meeting in the Bacon Room at First Parish at 6 PM on Sunday, November 17th.

Our book this month is "Fight Like a Mother: How a Grassroots Movement Took on the Gun Lobby and Why Women Will Change the World" by Shannon Watts.

Amazon's description:
Fight Like a Mother is the incredible account how one mother’s cry for change became the driving force behind gun safety progress. Along with stories of perseverance, courage, and compassion, Watts shines a light on the unique power of women—starting with what they have, leading with their maternal strengths, and doubling down instead of backing down.

Future book group dates/books:
January 5, 2020 - Yankee Swap Potluck - location TBD.
March 8, 2020 - (6 p.m. at First Parish) "The Witch Elm" by Tana French
April 5, 2020 - (6 p.m. at First Parish) "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens

As part of the Parish Wellness program, on the first Sunday of each month (Oct. - June) you will find another Blood Pressure Clinic after the Sunday service – 11:00-11:50. Look for First Parish Nurses to be set up.

It’s a good idea to make a list of all the medications you take, over-the-counter (like vitamins and/or low-dose aspirin) as well as prescriptions--and bring it with you. Any questions? Our parish nurses will be glad to answer them. The visit only takes a few minutes, and the people are friendly--so you’ll get a relaxed BP reading. We also have those magnetic “pockets” for you to put on your refrigerator in case of emergency--with a form to fill in with medications and allergies and such, as well as other flyers of interest. If you’ve had your BP checked here before, bring your card with you so it can be updated with Sunday’s reading.

Annual Holiday Program at the VA
On Tuesday, December 3 at 6:30pm First Parish will “leave the building” to travel to the Bedford VA Hospital (200 Springs Rd, Bldg 4) where we'll take stories and songs from the ministers and adult and youth choirs to the vets. All are welcome to come and bring joy and holiday cheer!

Christmas with the Back Bay Ringers
Holiday classics from 'Ave Maria' to 'Sleigh Ride'

We will explore the life and music of Sir David Willcocks, (1919-2015), a British choral conductor, composer, and arranger.  His revolutionary arrangements remain the most used throughout the world during this sacred season.  Several will be featured in First Parish’s 8pm Christmas Eve service.  Please welcome our own Brad Conner for what promises to be a fascinating look at this multi-talented individual, who played a pivotal role in the Battle of Normandy.

The Energizing Food Group (EFG) next meets December 9, 7-8:30pm, at the Heckman Home, 36 Wildwood Drive, Bedford (take pet allergy medication as needed).  Please bring a holiday appetizer/finger food,along with its recipe, to share as we enjoy each other’s company.
(note: this event is appetizers only, not a meal)  Rsvp to Corinne Doud at cordoud@gmail.com  - All Welcome!

Also, mark your calendars for our February EFG meeting at the church: Feb 3, 7:00-8:30pm. We will decide on a theme for this meeting when we meet in December.

“Together in Uncertainty”

Advent is a time of hopeful waiting and also a time of uncertainty. Come to this Vespers Service in the Bacon Room: we’ll have candles, music, meditation, and an exploration of how we can be together in the uncertain waiting.

Long Night’s Journey Into Day:  A Service Honoring the Winter Solstice

Led by Deborah Weiner and Rev.Annie Gonzalez Milliken

With gentleness, chant and ritual, we honor the longest night and shortest day of the year.  We’ll light candles, dress our worship space with evergreens, and sing together to ‘drive the dark away.’  We’ll release that which should die in the fading light, and kindle lights of hope as we celebrate the sun’s return to the earth.  Join us in this service for all ages!

Winter Solstice Celebration

"...And so the shortest day came
And the year died
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing
To drive the dark away
Let’s all proclaim together--Welcome Yule,
WELCOME YULE!!!"

(Susan Cooper)

On Sunday, December 22 at 7am, join fellow First Parishioners, family and friends to drive the dark away by singing up the winter solstice sunrise at Fawn Lake.  We will meet in the Fawn Lake parking lot on Sweetwater Ave (on the right, past the Lane school) and proceed down to the lake shortly past 7am.  The spot we’ve picked is quite close to the parking lot, so we’ll keep an eye out for more people as we await the sun.  From the parking lot, we’ll follow the path down to the lake and continue counterclockwise a short distance. 

After our sunrise sing-along at Fawn Lake, we will head back to church (75 Great Rd.) for a light breakfast– at about 7:30. Please bring what you can (don’t worry if you can’t) - this is all very informal and potluck.  It will be what we make it.  Since it is a Sunday morning, we will set up Community Hour with some Solstice treats before the 10am worship service.  

Those who are unable to greet the returning sun at Fawn Lake are certainly welcome to join us at the church for our own brand of sunshine to start the day.

All are welcome! Gather at 6:30 in the Common Room for appetizers; dinner served at 7:30. Just bring a main course, appetizer or dessert that will serve 6-8 people, and be willing to help with serving/clean up as part of your contribution. See you there!

As part of the Parish Wellness program, on the first Sunday of each month (Oct. - June) you will find another Blood Pressure Clinic after the Sunday service – 11:00-11:50. Look for First Parish Nurses to be set up.

It’s a good idea to make a list of all the medications you take, over-the-counter (like vitamins and/or low-dose aspirin) as well as prescriptions--and bring it with you. Any questions? Our parish nurses will be glad to answer them. The visit only takes a few minutes, and the people are friendly--so you’ll get a relaxed BP reading. We also have those magnetic “pockets” for you to put on your refrigerator in case of emergency--with a form to fill in with medications and allergies and such, as well as other flyers of interest. If you’ve had your BP checked here before, bring your card with you so it can be updated with Sunday’s reading.
