First Parish in Lincoln (UU/UCC)
4 and 14 Bedford Road, Lincoln
Worship
- Sunday, April 3 at 10 a.m. — Rev. Jenny Rankin will lead worship and we will hear from the Ministerial Church Team, who will announce the candidate they’re putting forward. Rev. Jenny will lead in reflecting on how this has been “A Long Time Coming.” Links to register to join worship in-person in the sanctuary or to join us via Zoom can be found at fplincoln.org.
Religious Exploration
- Our Sunday School of Magic and Mystery will have a seminar in wand-making this week. Last week’s foray into the “Forbidden Forest” allowed us to collect some sticks to whittle into our own wands (there are extras for those who weren’t there last week or you can bring a stick from home). If we could wave a magic wand, what would we want to change in this world? How could we use our powers for good? If the weather is fine, we’ll be meeting on the playground.
