Sometimes in the stillness of the quiet, if we listen,
we can hear the whisper in the heart
giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.
Howard Thurman
First Parish in Cambridge is a multifaith, spirit-filled congregation devoted to love and justice.
We embrace all ages, races, classes, abilities, sexual orientations, gender presentations, and ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Honoring all the faith traditions of the world, we support each person’s journey to wisdom and spiritual growth.
Whoever you are, wherever you are on the journey of life, we welcome you into our hearts.
Our Covenant
In covenant with one another and all we hold sacred We answer the call of love —
Welcoming all people into the celebration of life Searching for truth and meaning And striving for justice and compassion —
To nourish and serve each other, our community and our world.
Covenant Groups
To build connections with one another in our religious community, ongoing Covenant Groups meet mid-October through mid-June. September through March, you can join a Covenant Group by filling out the Covenant Group registration form. You can also get more information by checking the Covenant Group Frequently Asked Questions.
Circle of Care
The Pastoral Care Associates invite you to participate in providing one another with the practical and spiritual support that we all need in times of sorrow, pain and difficulty. You can participate by filling out the Circle of Care Volunteer Service Form. This is a way to honor our mutual covenant by continuing the long tradition at First Parish of helping one another during times of need. In doing so we not only answer the call of love, but we also increase our shared strength to serve the larger community and our world.
Thank you for responding – our Circle of Care is growing!
