First Church Congregational invites you to work with them for a Day of Service, celebrating the Town and the Churchʼs 375th Anniversary, on Sunday, September 21st.
As a servant church, First Church has worked with its Outreach Partners to actively assist them in whatever work--generally physical labor--they need to get done. In past years, one way that this has been accomplished is on a Sunday of Service involving the whole church. This year, First Church is making the event a community-wide Day of Service "celebrating community together" in its 375th Anniversary Year.
Here is how this exciting day will unfold:
9:00am Kick-off Dedication in the parking lot of First Church
10am – 4pm Volunteers will work at a pre-arranged service project
5:30pm Celebration Dinner (BBQ style) & Interfaith Prayer Service
on the Town Green between Sun Tavern & the Museum & History Center
Nearly two dozen projects of various skill levels have been planned for both adults and children. They include painting & doing minor home repairs, cleaning up a local park, rebuilding kayak racks, interior house painting, demo work, installing a brick patio at a Senior housing unit, cooking meals for Operation Hope, and a sing-along at a local convalescent hospital just to name a few.
