Field Education HandbookFirst Parish UU Church of Chelmsford
2 Westford Street Contact Person: Rev. Ellen Rowse Spero Project: First Parish UU Church of Chelmsford is an active church of about 200 members with average Sunday morning attendance by 80-90 adults and 45-55 children. We are diverse in age, theology and orientation with active participation by the congregation in all areas of church life and a growing population of young families. Chelmsford, a suburban town on the Merrimack, borders Lowell, an industrial city, yet still has orchards and a cranberry bog. Our members come from middle-class Chelmsford and increasingly from towns surrounding us from upper-middle-class Westford to multi-class Lowell so our economic diversity is increasing. By far the easiest way to get around is by automobile. Routes 3 and 495 intersect near Chelmsford center. Terms of Placement: Site will provide an amount to help cover FICA. Student Involvement: The program can provide a broad range of ministerial experience, and will be tailored to meet the student's particular needs. Opportunities include: preaching and worship, pastoral care, adult education, committee work in areas of student's interest/need, work with youth and/or children, program development and interfaith involvement. Intern should plan to attend weekly staff meetings and some meetings of the governing board. Arts of Ministry Competencies: Preaching and Worship. Pastoral Care and Counseling.
