Circle for Compassion
The First Parish Unitarian Church of Norwell is a liberal church in dialogue with the religious questions of the modern world, yet still honoring the best within our Judeo-Christian heritage. Recognizing no distinction of class, sex, nationality, race, age, or sexual orientation, ours is a Welcoming Church that stresses the need for community amidst the impersonality of the secular world. First Parish, Norwell, is a member church in the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Join us as we honor the 50th anniversary of Unitarian Universalism.
