Blue Boat Coffeehouse
First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Scituate MA is a vibrant, inclusive community of faith. We are a non-credal church stressing love, service, and religious freedom. Grounded in our Unitarian Universalist principles and purposes, we affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and we support each individual's unique search for truth and meaning.
Where are you on your spiritual journey? Wherever you are, we're curious to meet you. Join us in exploring “the big questions” and cultivating ways to live the answers amidst today’s modern challenges. Our congregation seeks ways to build community, guide our children, deepen spiritually, and to make a positive difference in the world.

Parish Events
Social Justice Action
Join us in planning and attending activities both at church and in the larger community that advocate, educate, and serve the causes of justice and democracy. Our UU values call us to imagine a world where no one is disposable and where everyone can thrive. They also call us to the struggle that brings these ideals to fruition.
Acting Out Together
Acting Out Together is a monthly play-reading group. The best dramas are built on difficult human problems. In the spirit of our church's commitment to social justice, we want to offer interactive dramatic reading as a way for all of us to engage with dilemmas that resonate with our own lives--in community, nation, and world.
Held on the 3rd Friday of every month.

Craftivism: The Fididdlers
The (historic!) Fididdlers crafting group is a twice-weekly gathering of creative "makers." You don’t need to be an artist or activist - everything is very simple and we have all the supplies needed. All are welcome.
A Ministry of Soup!
In collaboration with Holly Hill Farm's "Farm to Food Pantry" program, our Soupmakers team cooks up gallons of nutritious, delicious soups every couple of weeks that get delivered to our neighbors in the community via the Scituate Food Pantry — currently upwards of 300 families.
Game Night — all ages!
Game nights are a longstanding tradition at First Parish, and great fun for all ages. People bring board games, cards, tile games, and puzzles. Play, teach, or just come hang out. Oh, and there's pizza!
Held on 2nd Fridays of each month.
