6 Eliot Street Jamaica Plain, MA 02130 office@firstchurchjp.org 617-221-3059 We are on the unceded territory of the Massachusett people, who have lived in reciprocity with the land for thousands of years. Our church building sits at a junction of roads that were once Indigenous trade and travel routes. First Church’s Puritan ancestors are responsible for the theft of these lands and for cultural and physical violence against Indigenous people. At least three of the church founders enslaved people of African descent. This church was also financially supported by members who were merchants profiting from the unpaid labor of enslaved people and the commodities they produced. Our congregation has begun the work of repair by learning and telling our more complete history. We will continue to work with community and denominational partners as we strive to make our community whole. We invite you to bring your open heart, your ideas, and your commitment into this work.

Kairos and the Bodhi Tree

December 1, 2024 at 11:00 am Rev. Jamie Hinson-Rieger

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in a period of waiting, where something longed for is not happening. We may even feel stuck. Sometimes history feels stuck too. This service we will reflect on the story of the Buddha and the Greek concept of Kairos, or the right moment.

An open-table Christian Communion follows the service. All are welcome.
