We have two offerings open to all:
- Wednesdays at 10 am: Calling all who are curious about scripture, hungry for community, and/or eager for a deeper connection to our sacred texts. Hosted by Rev. Emily in the church parlor. We will study the text(s) that will be read in the following Sunday’s service. No commitment is required and no attendance will be taken – come every week, or once in a while, or just drop in to connect with some good people, drink deeply of our sacred stories, and learn a thing or two. All ages, beliefs, and familiarity with the Bible are welcome. Please join us! This class will meet periodically in the summer (August 20 is our next meeting) and resume weekly in September.
- Fridays at 2 pm, led by Debbie Owen: This class will be on hiatus through July and August.

At First Church, our goal for our youth choir is to provide opportunities for youth to develop a sense of belonging and connection to spiritual community through a variety of musical experiences like singing, playing instruments, creative expression, improvisation, composition, and through inclusive and accessible intergenerational collaboration.
Our youth choir is directed by Cassie Cooper-Ricci (they/them). Get to know Cassie on our staff page!
Youth aged 5 to 18 are invited to join our youth choir, and can join any week! (Children under the age of 5 can attend if accompanied by a parent.) Rehearsals take place on Sundays. Sessions will be in 6 to 8 week blocks and culminating in formal or informal music performance opportunities.
More details including rehearsal schedules can be found on our youth choir page (it is password protected; if you haven’t been given the password, please contact our office or our youth choir director to request access).
