Historic First Baptist Church is located on Hill Street at the west end of Russell Avenue. This church is known for its historic beginning as the first Baptist church in Hartford county. The church was formed by a small number of men, which was considered to be a very radical move for the day. People came from as far away as Hartford and Westfield to attend Sunday services. Second Baptist Church is the sister church of First Baptist.
On May 2 in Father Ted Hall, the many friends of Fr. Mark Jette and parishioners of Sacred Heart Church held a retirement party.

The children at West Suffield Congregational have a busy month coming up. The big news is that on June 12 they will be running worship. The children will read, sing, hear stories and join in a joyful service to mark the beginning of summer. Our children have been learning over the past few months that they can make a difference in the world. To point towards a more hopeful view of the future, we have been trying to instill in our Sunday School students a sense of agency and an awareness of their own ability to make change.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who helped to make the town-wide Spring Egg Hunt at Second Baptist Church a success.
