Welcome to Second Parish

We are an independent church affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association that combines the traditional with the innovative in honoring many different expressions of faith. Our efforts to balance the needs of individuality and community in the context of spirituality and service keep us ever aware of a wide range of perspectives on the place of church in the 21st century.

We welcome our children to the first part of the weekly service, then they go to Sunday Adventures. There they engage in activities centered on how to treat others as we ourselves would want to be treated, a basic teaching in all major world religions. Adults and children come together again for a robust coffee hour with conversation, food, and plenty of energy.

We know prayers are beautifully expressed in actions as well as words and music, which makes our service projects and our social activities an important part of living our spiritual values as best we can.

Explore the website and then come visit. We would love to welcome you any Sunday at 10:00.

Sermon: Finding Optimism in Horror: What Stephen King tells us about optimism and altruism

Whether you’ve read a Stephen King book or not, you probably don’t think of him as an author full of optimism and altruism as his reputation is that of “America’s Bogeyman”. Lauren Hannah-Murphy will share how there’s a Stephen King book for everyone, especially if you’re looking for good to prevail.

February 1

Special Lay-Led Service

Sermon: The Long and Winding Road: A Spiritual Journey with the Beatles.

Over their seven years together, the Beatles traveled a remarkable path—from youthful joy to deep questioning to hard-won wisdom. Through words and music, we'll explore what these familiar songs still have to teach us about innocence, loss, seeking, and acceptance. Come ready to reflect, and maybe to sing along.
