I've never attended a service here. I'm not religious. This is my confession…read more However! On game days, when all the surrounding lots jack their prices up to $50-60, this tiny church on Jersey Street accepts charitable (read: tax deductible) donations of only $30 for one of 10 spots, supervised the whole night. And by whole night, they say "til an hour after the game," but they say it with a wink and a smile and an undertone of "don't push it." And I respect that. And while again, I can't speak to measures of churchiness, it's Anglican worship. So if you're down with the A word, they're all about that grace 'bout that grace, no devil. (I read that Trainor pun on another church sign once and needed to use it somewhere. You're welcome.)

No elevator stares (the up and down judging looks) or emails or letters saying come to our church and tithe, In fact, take a few months to just be a guest. As a guest you genuinely are not expected to tithe, But absorb the community. See if we are a good fit for you God adores us. He knit us in our mother's womb. He knows every thought , desire, hope and our hurts There is a spiritual warfare going on daily, in our marriages, in our schools, at work and on every news channel Satan is very strategic the way that he whispers in our ear.

First Church Boston is one of three Unitarian Universalist churches in Boston and a surprisingly lively place, 383 years old but more contemporary than ever. Every church talks about combining the new with the traditional, but First Church Boston does it. The building is original on the outside along Berkley St. but the inside is Paul Rudolph contemporary. The music can be Bach one week and Bernstein the next. Services address current issues of the day as well as lifelong spiritual concerns. There is a ton going on during the week besides the Sunday morning service, all of it accessible on line. Every UU church is different as there is no central authority in Unitarianism, a situation some call religious democracy. There is no single revealed truth to ascribe to, rather members are encouraged to discover their own spirituality in a course called Building Your Own Theology. Other churches share a set of beliefs: UUs share a set of values. Most Unitarians are made not born, as 90% of UU members transfer to this faith as adults, so UUs have a history of welcoming newcomers from all backgrounds. Members (and staff) of First Church include former Catholics, Episcopalians, Baptists, Jews, Muslims, atheists and agnostics, to name a few. And you want cool? First Church Boston counts as members President John Quincy Adams, John Winthrop, Anne Bradstreet, Anne Hutchinson, Paul Revere. And Ralph Waldo Emerson is a former minister. So grab a blue cup at coffee hour and make new friends as members introduce themselves to you.

Their church hall is available for rent for receptions and functions, and other activities, such as CLUE: The Musical, as performed by The Dragonfly Theater, which was what led me out here, to Dedham, one weeknight. According to their website, there is a small parking lot for the Church off Cedar Street, and street parking is also allowed. We managed to find a spot on the opposite side of Cedar, along a line of storefronts, without any trouble, and made our way to the church entrance through their small parking lot. There were a few steps up leading to their regular entrance, but I spied a ramp to the left as an alternative. The hall where the show took place was up and to the left. It was good sized for our crowd of perhaps 35 audience members, and had a stage, so everything was pretty close and we could easily see the entertaining facial expressions of the actors. While there was a handicap accessible individual bathroom available to the left of the stage, a two stall ladies room was located in the basement, which was rather small and there was no lock on the one I entered. While I was in the basement, I noticed a long meeting room and a spacious basement hall that was pretty much open for what you want to do with it, except for the pillars spaced about doing its support thing. If you like, food donations to the Dedham Food Pantry may be deposited in the wicker basket on the bench in the entrance hallway.
