First Church Events

Several events are happening in September at First Church, An Open and Affirming Church, to welcome in the new church year. Worship is held every Sunday beginning on September 8 at 10 a.m.

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.

What Comes Next in Humanity’s “New Story?”

Tom Carr, pastor of Second Baptist Church in Suffield, 100 N. Main St. will be leading a series of 90 minute exploratory presentations about humanity’s “New Story.”

Churchgoers to be Uplifted

Folks who visit Suffield’s First Congregational Church will soon be offered an uplift that has been missing, no matter how moving the sermon might be. Recognizing the building’s role as a significant community venue as well as a place of worship, the church plans to install an elevator.

Strong Leadership on the Move

For some the call to a particular vocation can be an “aha” moment. For others, the route is much more circuitous.

First Church Receives Grant

First Church of Christ, Suffield has recently received a grant from the Amiel P. Zak Service Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. The $7000 award will allow First Church to purchase three new Automated External Defibrillators (AED) and will be able to provide the training that is needed in order to operate the AEDs.

Sacred Heart Church Renovations

Sacred Heart Church will be closed approximately six weeks to allow for minor structural repairs and renovations to the thirty year old structure. The work officially started the week of June 24.
