First Parish Dorchester hosted a barbeque for Meeting House Hill neighbors and the congregation on the church lawn last month. Members of the civic association, Friends of Ronan Park, and community residents enjoyed a night outdoors on the historic church grounds, where City Councillors Brian Worrell and Julia Mejia and state Rep. Chris Worrell joined neighbors for food and conversation. Above, Jennifer Johnson, Julie Simmons, Councillor Brian Worrell, and Sandra Eddy.
