For This Amazing Suffield Scholar, the World Awaits

Alex Voisine is a “local boy,” though no longer a boy and no longer local. He graduated from Suffield High School and went on to earn his B.A. from Temple University in Philadelphia in 2018, majoring in Spanish and Global Studies, with a minor in Latin American Studies.

Resilience Pays Off

Churches
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.

How Churches are Coping with COVID-19

The COVID-19 crisis has had ramifications in all areas of Suffield life. We hear quite a bit about how the schools are coping, but it’s important to remember that the churches have to find ways to carry out their missions as well.
