About this church
United Parish of Auburndale gathers for worship Sundays at 10:00 a.m. at 64 Hancock Street in Newton, with Facebook Live and Zoom options also published each week. A typical service includes hymns, shared joys or concerns, a children’s message, Scripture, silent prayer and meditation, an offering, an adult message, and instrumental music. There is no dress code, visitors are not singled out, and people may participate only as much as feels comfortable. Snacks and conversation follow worship.
This federated United Methodist and United Church of Christ congregation describes itself as theologically and socially progressive, inclusive, and committed to service. It welcomes people of every sexual orientation, gender expression, and identity into full participation and does not require members to affirm one prescribed creed. From September through June, children stay in worship through the children’s message before Sunday School begins at 10:15; a sanctuary “Prayground” gives younger children space for quiet activities. Outreach includes shelter meals, food assistance, justice advocacy, and hands-on community projects. The church sits across from Lasell University, within walking distance of the Auburndale commuter-rail stop and Riverside Green Line station, with a small lot and unrestricted weekend street parking nearby.
