WEST PARIS — First Universalist Church of West Paris, 208 Main St., explores a wide variety of topics led by a variety of speakers Sundays at 9 a.m.

Music is performed by guitarist Davy Sturtevant. Refreshments follow the services; all are welcome.

Jan. 5: “Following a Star,” led by the Rev. Scott Campbell. The topic focuses on lessons drawn from the Magi.

Jan. 12: “We Are Stronger Than We Think,” led by Amy Wight Chapman, who will read from and discuss her recently published family memoir, “Just Like Glass,” the story of one transformative year in the life of the author’s four older siblings and their mother. A member of the church, Chapman is author of a weekly column in the Bethel Citizen and active with the Bethel Historical Society and the Bethel Library.

Jan. 19: “Wisdom and Nonsense,” led by guest speaker Marilyn Hammond, a member of the South Paris Universalist Church and frequent speaker at the West Paris church. Continuing the poetry series, she will share some of the poetry of Shel Silverstein.

Jan. 26: “… But what kind of a Christian?” led by guest speaker Bob Neal, who regularly leads services at the First Universalist, and until recently wrote the column “The Countryman” for the Sun Journal. This exploration will be based, in part, on a recent column in the New York Times by Pope Francis.
