On Saturday October 23 the Facilities Committee is hosting a Buildings and Grounds Evaluation Day. We are inviting folk in the trades, and preservation experts to come to our facilities and offer their ideas, solutions, advice and appraisal for much needed work as we start gearing up for a capital campaign. At the end of the day we will have some food together and invite the Congregation to hear the reports. If you wish to help with the event, please contact Mark Johnson, chair of the Facilities Committee.
Save the date!

The Board of Deacons met to evaluate worship attendance since our change to the 9am worship time for the summer months. Worship attendance has been as good or better than in previous years so the Deacons have decided to keep the service at 9am through September 5. On Sunday, September 12 we will return to the 10am service schedule.

Something old and something new is on High street between Bradford and State Street! The Town arranged for the red, white and blue stripe to be re-painted in front of our campus! The stripe was laid down at 2:30 am Thursday morning and it looks fantastic.
What is next – the parade actually continuing on past the church that founded it…………….?
Happy Fourth!

Pastor Dan has been named this year’s Patriotic Speaker by the Bristol Fourth of July Committee. This is a great honor for Pastor Dan and for First Congregational Church. Bristol’s “Second Highest Honor” after being named Grand Marshall, the Patriotic Speaker is responsible for kicking off the 4th of July festivities.
The Bristol Patriotic Exercises and 4th of July Parade were started by our congregation and Rev. Henry Wight in 1785. In fact, Rev. Wight was the first Patriotic Speaker and held this role for over 40 years. Like Rev. Wight, Pastor Dan is also a war veteran. (Rev. White was in the Continental Army during his studies at Harvard)
Pastor Dan will deliver his address from the Colt School steps on July 5 (yes July 5 since the 4th is on a Sunday the parade must wait!) at 8:30am. Please come out to hear and support him.
In case of rain, the Patriotic Exercises are in the FCC Sanctuary!
