The ‘$520 Pledge Challenge’ Raffle
If you increase your pledge by $520 this year ($10 a week), you could win this gorgeous hand-made quilt generously donated by Alane Wallis as the ‘$520 Challenge’ raffle prize! This quilt was handmade by First Parish member, Alane Wallis, and is named the Farm Girl. She worked on it for a year at The Cambridge Quilt Shop during their ‘Block of the Month’ events. The shop provided the pattern, the fabric, guidance. and the opportunity to commune with other quilters. Alane particularly likes the quality of the fabric and the challenge of piecing each block. Thank you Alane!

Good morning, First Parish family and friends. This year’s Annual Campaign theme of “Here Together, Never Alone,” at first struck me as odd: aren’t we in fact NOT together, and aren’t many of us feeling isolated from one another? Before we had to go online, First Parish was THE place for me to be together … Continue reading 2021 Pledge Testimonial – Peter Nobile
Good morning First Parish friends. I send you a big air hug, as Liz has taught us to do. We’ll be back in our balcony perch before long, but I miss seeing all your faces.
