Spiritual Expression Through Music
Choir
Under the direction of Choir Director, Bob Specian, the First Parish Church choir sings every Sunday during services September through mid-June. A couple of times throughout the year, we have a choir exchange with neighboring churches, alternating venues, and filling the sanctuaries with beautiful, full music.
Check the Events page to find an exchange.
Choir practices are in the Meeting House every Thursday, 7:00 - 8:30 pm. All are welcome!
