May ours be a religion which, like sunshine, goes everywhere;
its temple, all space;
its shrine, the good heart;
its creed, all truth;
its ritual, works of love;
its profession of faith, divine living.
- Theodore
Parker
The church picnic at the Cambridge Boat Club on the Charles River is an annual ritual to reconnect with each other during the summer break, enjoy a communal meal, and soak up the beauty and peace of the riverfront.

Saturday Night's Alive in West Roxbury!
Theodore Parker Church’s Open Mike is held the last Saturday night of ALMOST every month. However, there will be no Open Mike on August 28.
We'll be back on Saturday, September 25. There's plenty of room on the program, so bring whatever you've got: poetry, Broadway, jazz, classical, folk songs, cabaret, comedy routines, original songs, tap dance, impressions, or the spinning-plate act that you haven't been able to perform in public since Ed Sullivan went off the air.
Everyone is welcome, any genre and any style. Family friendly (and we welcome young performers). Or come just to listen: we're your best live entertainment value in West Roxbury. Suggested donation is $5.00 (no charge for children) and families are welcome. Sign up to perform at 7:00, the evening gets underway 7:30 and goes till 9 or 9:30 depending on the number of people who perform. Share your talent and join in the fun and merriment!
