Monthly Outreach
October 2026
International Institute of New England, Lowell
For more than a century, IINE has been helping to welcome, aid, educate, employ, and naturalize New England’s refugees and immigrants. As the number of forcibly displaced people throughout the world reaches staggering numbers, our staff and supporters continue to rise to meet a level of unprecedented need.
Meals of Love
The Meals of Love Program is a ministry of FPCU that supports members of our community during times of illness, recovery, or other challenges. By providing a meal, we offer not just food, but comfort, care, and a reminder that no one faces life’s difficult moments alone.
This form makes it easy to ask for help privately — either for yourself or someone else — and allows volunteers to sign up to provide meals when they are able.

Historic Renovation
FPCU is in the midst of restoring and protecting our historic meeting house. We are working with Community Preservation Funds through the town of Westford and recently completed a capital campaign that raised over $200,ooo from our members and community. As of September 2026, we have completed our construction documents and will seek bids for the project in the coming weeks. Click the image below to learn more about the project.
Flowers for the Sanctuary
Art and flowers are a wonderful part of our worship and celebrations. Their creative display is an opportunity for each of us to share special events and interests in our lives. If you would like to contribute in this way, email (office@firstparishwestford.org) or call (978-692-8350) the church office to select a date. You can choose to share a flower arrangement or plant, provide a creative art display, or make a contribution to the Adornments Committee to sponsor the purchase of flowers.
Church Communications
We maintain a database of members and guests. This database is never sold or shared. It is used for five kinds of communication:
- To create our printed directory of active families and individuals. You can opt in or out of the directory
- To send our monthly Parish Post highlighting church programs and committee reports
- To send the Weekly Email. This goes out every Wednesday afternoon and includes timely news about events and activities at the church
- To send periodic mailings about fundraising and special events
- To send periodic emails about our annual meeting, inclement weather, and urgent church matters
Email the church office to be added to the database: office@firstparishwestford.org. If you would just like to be added to the email list, you can use the button below.
Annual Report
The First Parish Church United of Westford holds our Annual Meeting every May. As required by our bylaws, the Parish Warrant is shared at least two weeks prior to the Annual Meeting, which is open to all. Below is a link to our 2026 Annual Report.
