Part 6Matt Noblitt and Worship Leaders00:00:00https://stor

What if the hardest season of your life was actually preparing you to lead at a level you didn't know was in you?  In this vulnerable conversation, Jon opens up about the "fear chatter" that had been stealing his mental space, why he started removing people from his inner circle, and how walking through crisis taught him what authentic care actually looks like.  You'll hear his simple but game-changing filter for every worship moment, and why leading through your own brokenness might be the key to reaching others in theirs.  If you've ever wondered how to lead with genuine depth instead of surface-level enthusiasm, this conversation will shift how you think about leadership, vulnerability, and what it means to truly serve the room you're called to lead.  Worship Online is your new secret weapon for preparing each week. With detailed song tutorials and resources, you and your team will save hours every single week, and remove the stress from preparing for a set.

In this episode of the Prophetic Worship Podcast, Ali McFarlane is joined by worship pastor and songwriter Hailey Hibbard for a raw and deeply pastoral conversation. Together, they tackle a powerful truth: talent doesn't excuse you from the work of ministry.They unpack what it means to shepherd the people of God, how worship leaders must build trust with their congregation, and why celebrity culture in the Church must be broken. If you've been wrestling with church hurt, platform culture, or the tension between gifting and service, this conversation is your invitation to return to the heart of worship.

Worship service given July 13, 2025 Prayer by Loren Gomez, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Our liberal religious tradition calls us to explore and incorporate rituals and spiritual teachings from a variety of faith traditions. As a person who was raised Jewish, Melanie will share some of the traditions learned in childhood that still hold deep meaning for her as she participates in UU worship services as an adult Jewnitarian! During the summer our Zoom-only worship is led each week by a member of our congregation. Melanie Cohn-Hopwood is a Jewish UU (or “Jewnitarian”), a social worker, parent to two awesome teenagers, someone who loves to make things with her hands and a person who strives to have fun with the process and not worry about the outcome. She putters with pottery, sewing, writing and other art forms, and her fantasy getaway is a cabin in the trees with a stream nearby. Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For June, July, and August 2025, The Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth (BAGLY) will share half of the plate. For nearly 50 years, BAGLY has been a youth-led, adult-supported social support organization, committed to social justice and creating, sustaining, and advocating for programs, policies, and services for the LGBTQ+ youth community in Massachusetts.

Worship service given July 20, 2025 Prayer by David Whitford, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 This week's worship leader, Lillian Povey, ponders what it means to really take a vacation. Vacations can be a lot of work! How do we achieve the right balance between activity and rest, solitude and socializing, stimulation and vegging out? How do we balance the unrelenting expectations others have for us at home, at work, at church—not mention the pressure we put on ourselves—with our desire, our need, for joy, rest and fun? During the summer our Zoom-only worship is led each week by a member of our congregation. Lillian Povey has been attending First Parish for 3 years. She works in food manufacturing doing quality assurance work. She loves reading, writing, crochet, poems, cats, games, and chewy candies, and loves the opportunity to be creative.

Join us as our Worship Leader and Pastoral Resident, Cory Wester, preaches from Psalm 95.

In this powerful and personal episode of The Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach sits down with Meredith Andrews to talk about what it really means to worship through suffering. Known for her anthems of faith and honesty, Meredith opens up about her journey of learning to praise in the valley, not just the victory. Together, Zach and Meredith unpack what it looks like to choose worship as a response — even when emotions are raw and circumstances don’t make sense. They explore why worship is often most powerful in the valley, how praise helps us anchor to God's character in the middle of pain, what it looks like to remember God’s faithfulness when you're tempted to forget, the beauty of raw, real worship that doesn’t fake it — but presses through it, and the stories behind some of Meredith’s most vulnerable songs. This episode is for anyone who feels like lifting their hands is the last thing they want to do — but who’s ready to experience the healing power of God’s presence again.

I always knew Joh Chase would be a guest on Chapel Probation. They were one of the most influential people to come out of APU, and they are exquisitely talented. As a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, for my money, Joh is one of the best I've ever seen. And there's a reason we are still friends after meeting in 2005 during their sophomore year. Lots of old Joh Chase music featured in this episode. And lots of memories, both good and bad.

Come listen to a WUU service! Pilgrimage is an ancient spiritual practice found around the world.

Lyn Fulton-John, Lay Worship Leader Worship service given July 6, 2025 Prayer by Mary Breen, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Have you ever found yourself in that space in life between what was and what's next—where the old story has ended, but no new one has begun? It's a place of waiting without promise, and it is profoundly spiritual. This reflection is an invitation to honor the in-between, to find meaning not in fixing, but in staying—with love, with presence, and with the quiet truth that even in the cracks, the light gets in. During the summer our Zoom-only worship is led each week by a member of our congregation. Lyn Fulton-John has been an active member of First Parish since arriving in Boston in 2017. Active in STAR and Choir, she has also led a program on art and meditation and enjoys providing graphic design support for other First Parish events. She has a Master's degree in Theology, and is a program manager in the Office of Culture and Community Engagement at Harvard Medical School.

Come listen to a WUU service! When it comes to our work for social justice, we know external actions are important: To vote, to protest, to advocate. In this week's service, we will, with musicians Jane Ferguson & Annette Adlerlook, look to the process of deconstructing the internal patterns of thought and emotion that continue to hold the culture of white supremacy and patriarchy in place. Joan Gavaler has been a professional dance and theatre practitioner for 38 years and a somatic practitioner based in the Alexander Technique (AT) for 27 years. As Artistic Director of Aura CuriAtlas and a Dance Professor at William & Mary, she has created 85 original works, relishing collaborative discovery with poets, visual artists, composers, actors, acrobats, physicists, and neuroscientists on dance and theatre projects. She uses her AT background to help people who seek self-understanding, authentic expressiveness, and support for processing challenging thoughts and emotions. She has been invited by 80 organizations to present and teach in the U.S. and internationally, most recently somatic workshops supporting self-care for climate activists in St. Andrews, Scotland. Seven years ago, she became part of the Alexander Technique Liberation Project. The AT Liberation Project “supports, empowers, and advocates for equitable access for all who seek embodied freedom. We look to advance AT as an anti-oppression tool. We commit to decolonizing the practice and teaching of AT by promoting initiatives toward unearthing overt and implicit biases. We assist those who are developing AT programs that de-center the white, patriarchal Western European lens of its origins.” Joan is currently re-developing her AT course at W&M to be a somatics course supporting social justice.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the wonderful Dr. Carly York, a former Evangelical worship leader, a student of church music, a musician in her own right, and a Catholic convert. Dr. York's story – a journey from small-town baptist music ministry to studying Gregorian Chant at the Catholic University of America – is an incredible tale! Dr. York explains how following her passion and her gifts from God – studying and performing Church music – led her deeper and deeper towards the source of some of the greatest music in Christian history, into the origins of Christian music, and into the arms of the Catholic Church. It's an amazing story unlike anything we'd had on the show before!

Brian Dooley, Lay Worship Leader Worship service given June 29, 2025 Prayer by Bill Licea-Kane, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 Our bodies are wired for danger. When there's too much danger we get overloaded and we lose presence — our innate state — and we find ourselves in a state of fighting, freezing, fleeing, or fawning. And, our bodies contain some some built-in tools we can use to equilibrate. Drawing from the wisdom of Banks, Tolle and Huble, Brian Dooley will share ideas and calming techniques to keep ourselves comfortable, rational and available for ourselves and others. During the summer our Zoom-only worship is led each week by a member of our congregation. Brian Dooley grew up with a bewildering and confounding lack of emotional intelligence. Every relationship challenge was met with an internal and deafening “DOH!” In the last few decades, Brian has discovered some resonant approaches to recognizing, understanding and managing what is inside him. “If I share these with you, you will mirror them back to me, or you'll model them for another. One exchange at a time, we'll pass our presence along, and in no time at all, we'll all be living with whirled peas. I don't always do this stuff right, but I can try. That's my plan.”   Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles.

Jeanne Feeley, Lay Worship Leader Worship service given June 22, 2025 Prayer by Lillian Povey, Worship Associate https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 I believe a Spiritual Baptism is an inner transformation where one's heart fully opens to the divine presence a Gracious Love.

She lives in West Medford and has 2 daughters, 23 and 24 years old. She has been a registered nurse at Brigham and Women's Hospital for 35 years.

Lida Junghans, Lay Worship Leader Worship service given June 15, 2025 Prayer by Lida Junghans, Lay Worship Leader https://firstparish.info/ First Parish A liberal religious community, welcoming to all First gathered 1739 In my post-marriage I've been living my unmarried identity and pondering what I've gained and lost along the way. In this sermon I reflect on my experience in and out of coupledom and the dynamic relationship between Self and Other, Self and Social Structures. During the summer our Zoom-only worship is led each week by a member of our congregation. Lida Junghans began coming to Sunday services at First Parish in 2001, seeking a framework for her then four year old daughter to explore life's BIG questions. At First Parish she discovered a beloved community where she felt an intimacy and sense of belonging that has sustained her through passages when she was missing such nourishing connections in her personal life.  Offering and Giving First The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles.

Come listen to a WUU service! When it comes to singing Billy Taylor's “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free” (as popularized by Nina Simone) as one of our hymns — #151 in Singing the Living Tradition — some urge caution to those who enjoy white privilege on the basis that we don't know what it's like not to be free. As the Rev. Kimberley Debus puts it, “we don't have, in our living memory, a deep, soul-rooted knowledge of what it means to be in chains. We just don't.” Given the ways in which racism and other oppressions ultimately deny everyone's humanity, though, do we actually know how freedom feels?
