2023 Church Calendar:
Ash Wednesday Service with
United Church on February 22
Once again, this year we will honor the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday (2/22),
with a joint service with our friends from the United Church of Jaffrey. The service
will be held in the sanctuary of First Church at 5:00 pm and will feature songs,
prayers, reflections and the imposition of ashes. We hope you will join us as we
begin our Lenten journey.
Lenten Study Series:
The Character of Faith
Steve will be leading a study series on Wednesday afternoons during Lent. These
educational gatherings will be held at 4:00 pm in the Parish Hall beginning on
Wednesday, March 1, 2023. The theme of the series is the ‘character of faith.’ Using
simple biographies from biblical and historic characters of faith, we will explore and discuss how we might live as people of faith in our day and time. If there is interest, the series will also be available on zoom with links emailed out via eblast each week.
Let’s Welcome the Scouts!
The Trustees and Executive Circle have approved a request from Josh Levesque, the Scout Master of Jaffrey’s Troop 33 of the Scouts of America, to make First Church their home base. Regular meetings are held on Monday from 6-9 pm, with roughly 25 people (10 adults, 15 scouts) present. They will have space for meetings and storage in the lower level of the Parish Hall in areas that currently are not used by the church. The group may also use the Parish Hall and the Sanctuary for meetings and special ceremonies. This will be a one-year trial period by mutual agreement.
In return the Scouts will help with projects like the Fair and seasonal inside and outside cleanups. The trustees and other leaders unanimously agreed with Pastor Steve that this win-win partnership will nurture the church’s connections to local families.
