The Blessing Box, located right in front of First Church, is open to our neighbors and community members, encouraging you to “take what you need; leave what you can.” We invite community donations, but please refrain from giving leftover foods, items requiring refrigeration, or expired goods.

First Church of Christ, UCC Suffield cares about the safety of everyone connected to the church. In the event of inclement weather, the church building will close if needed.

Closings due to weather can be found in the CT Closings and Delays through NBC, FOX, and Channel 3 WFSB. First Church follows the Suffield School system delays and closures during weekdays.
