The First Church in Belmont has hired Martha Durkee-Neuman to serve as our Assistant Minister for Lifespan Faith Formation. Martha has been fellowshipped by the Unitarian Universalist Association as a minister last Spring. Now, the board of FCB has voted to ordain Martha to the ministry (an act that only the congregation can do!).
We are excited to invite you to save the date to join our neighbors at the First Parish in Malden to co-ordain Martha to the ministry on Saturday, March 29th at 1:00pm! The ceremony and reception will take place at the First Parish in Malden (2 Elm St).
Martha served as the Director of Religious Education at First Parish in Malden and now serves as our religious educator here at FCB. She has asked these two congregations to co-ordain her together, as these are two incredible communities that have supported her call to ministry and invited her to bring that ministry forth.
Children and youth are especially invited to attend and participate. And FCB Members -- there will be a special place in the Ordination Ceremony for you to participate in and confer the act of ordination upon Martha.
It will be a fun and exciting way to support our new minister. We look forward to seeing you there! Please RSVP if you would like to attend in person in Malden or over Zoom at this link.
