The Permaculture Garden  builds community and the faith that we are called to partner with God in caring for the earth, while planting seeds to nurture body, mind, and spirit.

WOMEN'S EVENING CIRCLE

Join the women of West Parish as they meet and learn about different community topics, or gather for conversations and crafting! Meetings are once a month on Thursday nights.

PRAYER SHAWLS

Building on the idea of knitting prayers and peace into shawls, numerous warm shawls are knitted each year and lovingly donated to Merrimack Valley Hospice and members and friends of the church.

SAMARITANS

Founded by long-time West Parish members, the Samaritans of Merrimack Valley, works to reduce the incidence of suicide and educate the community.  West Parish remains committed to this organization and its mission today.

HELP WITH SUNDAY SERVICES

We welcome everyone to help at Sunday Services. We are always looking for people to help as a Lay Leader, Greeter, or Coffee Hour. 

ADULT EDUCATION

There are many opportunities for adults to learn, connect, and develop spiritually outside of Sunday worship. In addition to Bible studies, there are workshops, classes, and discussions scheduled throughout the year. 

CARE CIRCLES

We created our Care Circles as a way to stay connected and care for one another. Everyone is in a Care Circle! Reach out to Cheryl or Katrina if you have a question or a need.
