First Church Pot Luck

We hope you will be able to join us for what will be the first in our potluck series this church year!

The first one will take place Sunday, November 16 at 6pm in the Cleveland and Barnard Rooms at First Church in Salem.

What to Bring: 

To make sure we have a balanced meal with something for everyone, we’d like to organize what dishes people bring in a fun and simple way:

  • If your first name begins with A–H → bring a main dish (vegetarian, meat, or hearty protein-based)

  • If your first name begins with I–P → bring a side dish or salad

  • If your first name begins with Q–Z → bring a dessert or fruit

  • If you’d like to bring cutlery, bread or drinks instead, feel free to swap, just let us know!

Allergy-friendly reminder:

  • Please label your dish if it is gluten-free, egg-free, nut-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, or vegan.

  • We will also have a clearly marked allergy-friendly table with safe options set at a lower height for accessibility.

Samhain Vespers

Friday, November 7 at 6:30pm

First Church in Salem | 316 Essex Street, Salem MA | Cleveland Room

Come and honor our ancestors and those who have passed this year for a time of quiet remembrance. This is the time of year when the space between the spirit and physical worlds is thin, and we take a moment to think about our mortality and feel grateful for the harvest time before winter. 

You are invited to bring a small photograph of a loved one (two-legged and fur babies) to add to the ancestor altar (please pick them up again before you leave). There will be time to share precious memories if you wish during the service. 

The evening is open to people of all faiths and traditions. Young people are welcome with a responsible adult.

Join us for a classic game night! We will have board games, card games, and more for people of all ages. A number of games will be supplied, including some well-known favorites and some fun lesser-known options. You are also welcome to bring in a game that you would like to share (just remember that this is an all-ages event, so games that are intended for adults are welcome, but they should be appropriate for all ages since kids will be in the space).

Positive Aging Discussion Group

Did you know that how we think about aging impacts our health -- and longevity? Using topics from books about overcoming the negative influences of our society, we will explore our own thoughts on aging, spot examples of how society perpetuates negative images, and find ways to counter those influences.
