SVAA: They Are Here for Us
|
The COVID-19 virus is pushing many volunteer ambulances to the brink: some have ceased operations because of lack of funds and volunteers. Fortunately for our town, the Suffield Volunteer Ambulance Service is financially healthy with plenty of supplies and volunteers.
Churches
Happenings at First Church of Christ
|
Due to COVID-19 all In-Church events and gatherings, including Worship, have been moved online. Our Online Worship services include prayers, scripture, sermon and a variety of music through our YouTube page.

New Senior Minister Named at First Church of Christ
|
The First Congregational Church of Suffield is joyfully welcoming its new senior minister, the Reverend Diann Bailey. Fortunately, Reverend Bailey is not a “newbie” as a church leader in a time of crisis; she has been the associate minister at the church since 2014, and before that at the Congregational Church in Granby.

VFW Post Reopens
|
We are approaching the one year mark since COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, closures and restrictions began. The Landry-Sic VFW Post 9544 canteen closed its doors in mid-March 2020 with the hope to re-open sooner rather than later.
Organizations
Discovery Helps Slave Study Group
|
The Suffield Historical Society sponsored an online class during the months of October and November in order to prepare a Witness Stones Memorial for Tamar, who was an enslaved woman who lived at least eighteen years of her young life in Suffield from 1770-1798.

Town Hall Update
|
Construction crews have been busy at the Town Hall, inside and out, since the winter weather has not been bitterly cold. The renovation work is well along, and interior photos available on the Town website now clearly show what the spaces will look like.
