Join First Parish in Portland, Unitarian Universalist for this sacred candlelit service of Lessons & Carols, drawing on texts both ancient and contemporary and concluding with a haunting "Silent Night."

A member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association, First Parish has served the Portland
community for more than three centuries, practicing a liberal religion that affirms the "inherent dignity and
worthiness" of all people and advocates for a “free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” Recent
inclusion initiatives include a plaque and regular mentions in worship services noting early church leaders’
complicity in the genocide of Wabanaki people, and the installation of an elevator aimed at making the historic building more accessible to people with disabilities. Worship services are offered every Sunday at 10am, with additional services for special occasions throughout the year. For more information, visit
