Sessions on spiritual differences, atheism, job searches
The First Parish in Lincoln has three events coming up:
Theology on Tap: Navigating Spiritual Difference in Relationships
Monday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. (Tack Room)
How do we navigate our connection with partners, family, and friends with different religious and spiritual traditions? Share your experiences and learn from one another.
Atheists and Other Seekers
Wednesday, May 8 at 7:30 p.m. (First Parish Stearns Room)
Join us for the third meeting of the Atheists and Other Seekers discussion group. In a judgment-free setting, we’ll focus on a few keywords that came up at our last discussion. All are welcome, from the atheist to the agnostic to the believer.
Job Search Conversation Group
Wednesday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m. (First Parish Stearns Room)
In a culture where we are often defined by “what we do,” the gaps between work offer both possibility and challenge. Join Rev. Nate Klug for a new conversation group focused on providing community and support for those in transition between jobs.
Office opening event with entertainment
Real estate team Jeannine Taylor and Jessica Packineau invite residents to an opening event for their own office on Friday, April 26 from 4–7 p.m. at 152 Lincoln Rd. Explore the renovated space and get your burning real estate questions answered while enjoying music by Casey Murray (banjo, guitar, cello) and Molly Tucker (fiddle) and artwork by Lincoln’s Pauline Curtiss.
Work day and taco night at Codman Farms
On Sunday, April 28 from 2–4 p.m., support our local farm while doing tasks for all ages —raking, mulching, weeding, organizing, painting, and special box decorating for our littlest of volunteers. Come prepared to get dirty and please bring your own work gloves. Click here to sign up.
That evening from 4–7 p.m., enjoy your dinner fresh from the Codman kitchen with braised beef tacos, vegan chorizo tacos, braised beans, rice and fixings. Eat in the courtyard with a cozy fire and live music from The Honey Steelers (or if you can’t stay, take your dinner home).
Speakers coming to library
Author Emily Falcon on From the Sidelines to the Finish Line
Thursday, May 9 from 7-8 p.m., Tarbell Room
What’s something you always wanted to do but weren’t able? Author Emily Falcon was held back by her heart condition until she was 35, but now she can run races. Her memoir, From the Sidelines to the Finish Line: A Chronic Illness Survivor’s Challenges and Everyday Triumphs is a story of survival and how her physical situation shaped and limited her. She intends this story to be a helpful resource to families, caregivers, and physicians who want to gain insight into a patient’s point of view.
Poetry reading with Lincoln’s Linda Lamenza
Saturday, May 11 from 3-4 p.m., Tarbell Room
Join us for a poetry reading with Linda Lamenza, a poet and literacy specialist for Lincoln Public Schools in Massachusetts. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, and her chapbook, Left-Handed Poetry, was a finalist for Hunger Mountain’s May Day Mountain Chapbook Series. Feast of the Seven Fishes, her first full-length book, is forthcoming.

Globe looks at home values in towns including Lincoln
An April 17 Boston Globe article headlined “The mystery of falling prices in Belmont, Brookline and more swanky suburbs” (subscription required) examined slow sales and falling home prices. In Lincoln, “the Warren Group found prices fell more than 15 percent in 2023. The median-priced single-family home there sold for $1,411,250 last year, down more than $200,000 from 2022,” according to the article, which also quotes Lincoln real estate agent Terry Perlmutter.
