Sample Media Kit and Coverage from the First Parish in Cambridge
The First Parish in Cambridge, Massachusetts, voted in April of 2008 to call Rev. Fred Small as their senior minister. Rev. Small began serving First Parish in August of 2008. The first worship service that he led as senior minister took place on September 7, 2008.
Sample Media Kit
The materials below were developed and distributed by First Parish to raise awareness of Rev. Small’s new ministry.
