Somerville is a transient community. Many folks come to First Church having freshly moved from somewhere else, feeling isolated and far from family and friends. We love to have fun together, and provide newcomers with opportunities to meet neighbors, make friends and find their place in their new hometown.

• at The Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Block Party you can hit the bouncy house, get your face painted, or enjoy live music and great grub with your neighbors in the College Ave/Powderhouse area. Every September!
• Movie Night helps us connect the secular world and our developing ideas about what Jesus called “the kingdom of heaven,” the spiritual world within our world. And it is plain old fun!
• Seasonal Fun We respond to the rhythms and cycles of the season. In summer, urban campfire singalongs give way to fall “Keeping the Faith” outdoor Red Sox parties, apple picking, or winter Mardi Gras prom and 80s dances.
