New Community Space Offered
|
A dedicated group of people at Second Baptist Church spent the summer transforming the Kneece Chapel into a space that is open to the community. The Common Room at Second Baptist now features a beautiful open floor plan great for everything from yoga to bridal showers. In the front of the room is a live edge credenza designed, built and donated by Made By LLC using a slab of Suffield-grown poplar donated by Sotil Tree Service as well as repurposed wood from a local tobacco barn and pews from the chapel. (The live edge credenza was designed and built using the amazing tools and workspace at Makerspace CT in Hartford.) Behind the credenza is a 100 inch state-of-the-art projector and audio system for educational events, presentations and movies. For the grand opening during Suffield on the Green, across the street, the Common Room served up free coffee house refreshments by the great folks from Story and Soil Coffee in Frog Hollow, Hartford.

First Church’s Capital Campaign and Construction Move Forward
|
Suffield’s First Congregational Church is moving forward with the “public phase” of its Lifting Up Our Community Capital Campaign and the related construction at the church’s building on High Street. The church’s congregation voted to undertake this three-year Capital Campaign and related work to address accessibility issues that have limited the full use of that building. First Church has been a centerpiece of the Suffield community since the Town’s founding nearly 350 years ago. The church regularly makes its space available to non-profit organizations, local government agencies, and other community groups and citizens who provide services in and around Suffield. Groups recently using First Church’s facility include a preschool that serves over 30 families and has been using the church’s facilities for approximately 40 years, four addiction recovery groups, a guide dog training group, tutoring programs, the Cub Scouts, a preschool music class, and students and teachers attending AP testing programs. The church hosts the Music on High concert series.
