Worship Services
We covenant together to be a welcoming spiritual community, where all are safe and free to search for spiritual meaning in their own ways. We find strength in the many forms of diversity.from the North Parish Mission Statement
Sunday services
Our Sanctuary Chalice.
Our Minister, Lee Bluemel, usually leads worship at North Parish. We also offer lay-led services and welcome guest preachers.
We hope you will join us for coffee and conversation in our Parish Hall following each Sunday service. Services are held at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
During the summer we offer a single Sunday service at 10 AM.
Music
Music is an integral part of our worship services. Our diverse music program, directed by Music Director John Middleton Cox, includes an adult choir, world music ensemble, recorder ensemble, vocal octet, and a variety of musical guests, most of whom are members of the parish. We welcome all members and friends with musical talent or interest to get involved in the music program.
Flowers and Steeplelighting
Members contribute to our weekly flowers and steeplelighting in honor of, or memory of, loved ones. Flower memorials and steeplelighting are both $35.00. You may specify any flower arrangement preferences, or bring a bouquet of flowers of your own choice and arrangement, (this must be arranged in advance.) You may take your week's arrangement home after the 11 a.m. service. The steeple lighting donation covers the electrical cost of lighting the steeple that week. Contact Barbara Burke
