Worship
ServicesRegular services are at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays, September through June, and usually include congregational singing, music from the organ and the choir, spoken prayer and silent meditation, and a sermon from the minister or a message from lay leaders or a guest preacher. Some services are intergenerational, with participation by all ages; at other times there are regular Sunday chapel services for our young people. The first Sunday of the month is normally Family Sunday, in which children join adults in the sanctuary for the first part of the service and then go to their Sunday School classes.During July and August our Sunday "Fishermen's Services" are held at 8:00 a.m. on the patio, weather permitting, and are led by laypersons. A period of fellowship and refreshment follows each service. In addition, several other forms of worship meeting are held at various times. These include the periodic "Soulful Sundown" services sponsored by the YA DUUDES young adult group, services conducted by the Women's Ritual Group and Buddhist meditation sessions conducted by the minister.
Our Buddhist Meditation Group meets on the first & third Sundays of every month from 7:00 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m. The group is a drop-in group (come when you can). All levels of practitioners, including beginners, are welcome — bring a cushion or pillow if you like. In addition, on the first Sunday of each month we have a discussion time from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. For more information, contact the minister at 781-934-6532 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Soulful Sundowns are alternative worship services incorporating contemporary artistic expression in the quest for spirituality and meaning. Organized by our young adult group, YA DUUDes (18-35 year olds), these services are held quarterly, usually on Sunday evenings, and are open to all. Some services include contemporary music, meditation and inspiration. Our past themes have included "The Power of Music," "Power of Laughter," and "The Seasons of Life." Childcare is offered for each service and a snack reception usually follows each service. See the Calendar page for the next scheduled Soulful Sundown.
