STAR Adult Education:
Spirit, Transformation, Adventure, Reflection
The STAR Committee sponsors programs for adults that encourage spiritual growth, religious understanding, and vibrant community connections. These programs of Spirit, Transformation, Adventure, and Reflection illuminate our world and help us navigate our lives.
Please consider joining us as a facilitator, a participant, or both! If you would like to propose a STAR program, please email star@firstparish.info. We welcome program ideas from September to May.
Read the Events page for more details on these programs and for more information on late-developing (but equally inspiring) new offerings. Below please find our ongoing events. If you do not see what you are looking for here, the Events page has all of our one-time offerings.
Ongoing Events
Lectio Divina
Lectio Divina is a method of reading and listening, lingering with, and sharing personal responses to selected biblical texts. Diverse responses to the text provide new insights and help us grow in our spiritual lives and set intentions for our daily lives. Drop-ins are always welcome!
Meets Online Tuesdays at 7 am to 8 am, Wednesdays 9 am to 10 am, and Thursdays at 8 am to 9 am.
