"A Communion of Healing"

Rev. Mel Shenstone preaches at Allin Congregational Church

This week the Allin Congregational Church (across High St.) welcomes Rev. Mel to the pulpit, and us to their pews, in our annual interfaith exchange service honoring our shared roots.

This service centers in the inspiration for healing that unites our faith traditions, and reminds us of the wisdom in not trying to heal alone. It will feature a combined choir.

Please note the earlier start time, 9:45!

This service will be livestreamed on Youtube! Click here to access the service at 9:45.

Coffee hour will be at Allin Church so we will not have a Zoom link this Sunday. Please cross carefully if you park at First Church!
