This year your Parish Board has been working on documenting how decisions are made at First Parish, including decisions about staffing, finance, committees, building use, worship, music, religious education, and how we present ourselves to the public. We compiled all this into a single document called  “How Decisions Are Made at First Parish” which is now available on the members page of the First Parish website. The Board hopes the document will improve transparency, stimulate discussion on whether the current policies are the most appropriate ones for First Parish, and identify policy gaps that need addressing. The Board welcomes your comments and suggestions.

In the spirit of community,

Tom Rich

Board Chair
