We promise to seek a deeper faith, to express our praise and thanksgiving through worship, to expand our knowledge through study and to share in God’s kingdom through service to others. WE BELIEVE God exists through eternity as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three co-equal persons in one triune God. WE BELIEVE God the Father is the Creator and Ruler of the universe and of history, and that He seeks to claim all people as His sons and daughters through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ. WE BELIEVE Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, Who came to rescue, restore and transform us to become joint heirs with Him of God’s kingdom. Fully God and fully human, He offered Himself through His death on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He arose from the dead in the flesh, claiming victory over death and the Evil One. He shall return to earth to reign eternally as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. WE BELIEVE the Holy Spirit indwells and gives life to believers, enabling them to understand the Holy Scriptures, to be assured of salvation, to receive spiritual gifts, to experience intimacy with God and to be empowered for godly living and serving. WE BELIEVE the entire Bible, both the Old Testament and New Testament, constitutes the revealed and inspired Word of God and serves as the only infallible guide for faith and practice. WE BELIEVE we receive the gift of eternal life by God’s grace and through faith in Jesus Christ as God’s only provision for human salvation, and that good works are important as the fruit and evidence of our faith. WE BELIEVE all people exist after death, either eternally separated from God by sin, or living eternally with God through His grace and forgiveness. WE BELIEVE that, as believers, we are part of the universal Body of Christ, and as members of His church we have a variety of gifts and servant roles according to the grace He bestows. WE BELIEVE we are called by God to first and foremost obey His Word, to act with love, to pray faithfully, to embrace the joy and accept the cost of discipleship, to celebrate the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ both locally and globally, through word and deed. - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) --- ## URL: https://www.firstchurch.org/staff ### Title: Staff ### Page ID: 5373691 ### Content: The staff and leadership here at First Church of Christ is comprised of men and women who love Jesus and love the Church.

Life Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. At First Church, one of our Focus Values is community. Life Groups are one way that we can focus and grow together as a community. A First Church Life Group is a small community of roughly twelve people who meet regularly for an informal time of fellowship and learning. They encourage one another in spiritual growth through study, discussion, and sharing together God's Word. If you are interested in becoming a part of a Life Group, OR interested in starting one, please contact Pastor Todd at [Toddw@firstchurch.org](toddw@firstchurch.org), or 860 529 1575 ext.115.

Middle school and high school can be some of the most exciting—and most challenging—years of life. Students are faced with new experiences, deep questions, and a longing for belonging. We believe the best place to navigate these years is within the family of Jesus and the life of His church. We aim to create lifelong disciples of Jesus who live with purpose and joy by: Our prayer is that every student who engages regularly with our community will graduate with great memories, a resilient faith, life-long friendships, and the confidence to step into the future knowing they belong to Christ and to His church. During the 10:30 AM Contemporary Service, the Middle School Class meets in room M103 for engaging, age-appropriate lessons about scripture. On the first Sunday of the month, during our Combined Service, our middle schoolers are invited to worship with their families in the Meetinghouse. **The last Middle School Class gathering of the 2025-2026 school year will be Sunday, June 21.** Youth Group meets each Sunday evening from 6:00-8:00 PM in the Youth Room. Each week we will enjoy games, snacks, worship, and a group discussion about life and faith. **Regular Youth Group gatherings are on break!** **Our end-of-year Pool Party will be on Sunday, June 28, at 25 Broad St, East Hartford, CT, from 5:30 - 9PM** **For the Summer semester, we are having three Youth Group gatherings for High Schoolers only on July 12, July 26, and August 16 from 6:30-8PM** Join us this Summer August 2nd-8th at Camp Berea for a week of fun and fellowship!

Whether you are a young adult or a senior, married with kids or single, you are important to the heart of God and there is a place for you at First Church of Christ in Wethersfield. Our parking lot is located at 250 Main Street and includes marked spots for seniors, those with disabilities, and visitors. We suggest arriving at least 10 minutes prior to the service time for easier parking. There is also ample parking in areas around the church. The Cadwell Building serves as the main entrance from the parking lot. A receptionist is available to answer questions and guide you toward the Meetinghouse (where the Traditional Service is held) or Keith Jones Hall (where the Contemporary Service is held), as well as locations for young people: Crib Room, Preschool, and KidsConnect. Maps of the church facility are also available at the Reception Desk. Worship consists of prayer, music, a biblical sermon, and an offering. The music for the Traditional Service is led by the First Church Choir while the music for the Contemporary Service is led by the Contemporary Worship Team. Whether you raise your hands and sing along, or stand quietly in reflection, feel free to worship as you would like. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month in a combined service at 10:00 AM, as well as during special services throughout the year. For all prayer needs you may have, members of our prayer team will be available to pray with you in private after the service.  Yes! First Church of Christ is a place where your kids can have fun, grow, and discover just how much God loves them.

The ministries’ purpose is to help provide the tools to bring each man to a passion for God and be *a man after God's own heart*. In all of our venues—Bible study, prayer breakfast, prayer wall, speaker meetings, workdays, fellowship, conferences—we emphasize the vertical connection between us and God and the horizontal connection between each other and between us and the church community (as a whole and in small groups). Thus, the completion of the cross. As men become comfortable in their relationship with Christ and more mature in their faith, our hope is that they will take on church leadership positions using the spiritual gifts God has given them, and that they would lead courageously. The Church—and our world—want and need more “Lion of Judah” men. Men's Ministry Committee: Paul Marks, Scott Singerman, Junior Urena, Ron Vliet, Todd Willard The First Church Men’s Ministry is hosting our annual campfire dinner on **Thursday, May 14th at 5:30 PM at Shady Maple Farm in East Windsor.** The evening of fellowship features a grilled chicken dinner along with a tractor-pulled hay wagon tour of the wooded farm. That will be followed by singing around the roaring fire and a personal faith testimony. All men and teen boys are welcome, so don’t hesitate to invite a friend. Please register below or call First Church at 860-529-1575. We hope you can join us!

Regardless of your level of experience as a knitter or crocheter, we would love for you to join us! Over the years, members of our congregation and staff have distributed over 200 shawls in the greater Hartford area and beyond, providing comfort to those coping with health and grief hardships. In addition to prayer shawls, baby blankets are also made and distributed to celebrate the gift of a new life. Beyond the sound of needles, the Prayer Shawl Ministry is a wonderful time of sharing and growing together with other women at First Church. We meet on the **first Tuesday of each month from 6:30-7:30 PM in the Morgan House Cafe.** For more information, contact Elaine St. Onge at 860-529-7821.

Here, she researched grant opportunities that aligned with the school’s mission and worked with several key members of the administrative staff to create several content deliverables for this organization. These deliverables ranged from proposal packages, newsletters, brochures and web-based design. Brigette has since completed her master’s program where she has gained extensive experience in several principal content creation and management skills along with familiarizing herself with the software used to create this content. Additionally, Brigette has previously completed a Bachelor of Science in Communications Studies where she practiced communication ethics, rhetorical theory, and how to analyze and evaluate messages. While completing her administrative internship, Brigette also worked as a substitute for all grades and age groups along with participating as a summer day camp counselor. She then went on to work as a teacher’s assistant for a nursery program during her gap year. Through these experiences, Brigette found that working with children, especially those in early childhood, had fully unlocked a true passion for her that she has chosen to further and actualize by fully committing her career path to school administration. Through this work, Brigette hopes to help facilitate a smooth transition from home to preschool by supporting the parents, children and staff here at First Church of Christ Preschool. Brigette is so beyond grateful she has found a home here in Connecticut and is excited to utilize her background, education, and work experience to contribute to the church’s ongoing success. - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) --- ## URL: https://www.firstchurch.org/martha-cudo ### Title: Martha Cudo ### Page ID: 5458548 ### Content: Martha started her career in Restaurant Management where she worked for many years.

Before that, she spent nearly a decade at The Hartford, where she specialized in classroom training for employees. Inspired by a deepening passion for early childhood education, Kristin spent four years teaching in the Pre-K 5’s classroom before joining the 3’s team in 2020.

Wethersfield's initial settlers, known as the "ten adventurers," had arrived here a year earlier. Most of them came from Watertown, Massachusetts, and, at first, they called their new settlement Watertown as well. They were one of three groups of Englishmen, known as* ***Puritans*** *who established three adjacent settlements in the Connecticut River Valley-Wethersfield, Hartford, and Windsor.* For a few years, these three communities were the only English settlements in what became Great Britain's Connecticut Colony. To govern themselves, representatives from the three settlements met to create the **Fundamental Orders—**a written constitution that was a forerunner of the United States Constitution. Begun as a frontier settlement in what the early English colonists called the "remote wilderness," Wethersfield soon became a gateway for migrating to even more remote places. At its founding, Wethersfield covered a large area, the distant parts of which later became separate towns. First Church members in these spin-off towns formed new churches or became members of other churches. But in the modern era (especially since the 1980s), the advent of automobiles and highways have allowed people from outlying communities to become active members of First Church in Wethersfield—including some from southern Massachusetts. It's gone from **exodus to influx**. Today, histories of the Puritans often focus on the **witch trials** held in New England towns, including Wethersfield, during the latter part of the 17th century. Today's accounts of New England's witch trials (which were not in accord with Christ's teaching) frequently distort facts and lack perspective. The early settlers' first crude buildings are long gone, but the picturesque area called "Old Wethersfield," where First Church is located, still has many genuine colonial structures, some of them open to the public. This section of Wethersfield is located less than a half mile from exit 26 on route I-91. The church's present primary sanctuary, or **Meetinghouse**, is a handsome, Georgian-style colonial building that dates from 1761. It is an Old Wethersfield landmark. In time, the many local New England churches established by the Puritans came to be known as **Congregational** churches, which continues to be First Church's tradition. For two centuries, these Puritans, or Congregationalists, were the dominant group in most of New England and generally shared a consistent set of beliefs and attitudes. Serious dissent from the shared beliefs was not readily tolerated, and, in Connecticut and Massachusetts, Congregationalism was the state religion. Traditionally, each Congregational church owns its own property and selects its own clergy. In practice, these churches have worked closely together. Even before 1818 and the disestablishment of Congregationalism as Connecticut's state religion, denominational organization as we know it today was preceded by such associations as the missionary societies of Connecticut and of Hartford. First Church was part of the original formal Congregational **denomination** from its founding in 1871 until 1957, when it merged with the Evangelical and Reformed Church to form the United Church of Christ. First Church joined that new denomination in 1961, withdrew from it in 2004, and is now considered an independent congregational church. **In essence, a church is not its building or its denomination. It is people brought together by God, to love and praise Him, to love all others, and to spread to others the good news of God's grace**. When we focus on our own personal relationship with God, we find ourselves effective in loving and helping others. Church becomes a place where, as we at First Church like to put it, "the Spirit is alive and miracles happen." To the extent that we succeed in any of this, the **credit belongs to God.** First Church is over 375 years old, so there have been a great number of pastors, church leaders and parishioners who have worshiped and served God here. Many are chronicled in the book ***A Pleasant Land—A Goodly Heritage*,** by Lois M. Wieder, for the period 1635 to 1985. Here are a few well-known Christians who have had a connection with this church. **Jonathan Edwards** has been described by British historian Paul Johnson as "a man of outstanding intellect and sensibility, the first major thinker in American history." From 1716 to 1718, Edwards attended classes at what became Yale University. The classes were held in Wethersfield. The students and their teacher, Elisha Williams, worshiped at First Church. A serious Christian whose theological writings are still read today, Edwards had a role in the Great Awakenings of the 18th century. However, he was removed as pastor of the Congregational Church in Northampton, Massachusetts, because he insisted that the measure of a true Christian was a life-transforming relationship with God, and most in the congregation found that too demanding. Because Wethersfield was a center of patriot activity, both **George Washington** and **John Adams** were here separately and visited the present Meetinghouse during the American Revolutionary War, years before they became our nation's first and second Presidents. Christianity had an important influence on them and on almost all of our nation's other founders. Those are but three in the long line of distinguished people who have had some connection with First Church. In more recent times, our congregation and area residents have been blessed by such speakers as **Os Guinness**, **Ken Boa**, **Jennifer Kennedy Dean**, actor **Frank Runyeon**, and the late **Chuck Colson**. Our concerts have featured such musicians as renowned organist/composer **Roberta Bitgood**, and the legendary **Dave Brubeck** (known for such jazz hits as *Take Five*), who performed his *La Fiesta de la Posada* at First Church on two separate occasions; the Christian groups **Glad**, **Destiny Africa Children’s Choir**, **The Ineloquent**, and New Haven’s **Holyfire**; as well as contemporary solo artists **Phil Keaggy** (known for such compositions as *Find Me in These Fields*), **Robin Mark** (*Days of Elijah*), **Michael Card** (*El Shaddai*), **Michael Kelly Blanchard** (*Be Ye Glad*), and **Ken Medema** (*Sing to the Lord*). Each of these distinguished individuals benefited by being a committed Christian and holding a **Christian worldview**. What matters ultimately about them or about anyone else is not their fame or lack thereof. The real issue for each of us is: Have I stepped out in faith to accept in my heart God’s forgiveness and grace intended for me? For over 375 years, First Church has been fortunate to be the spiritual home for a great variety of people who have accepted Christ, each of whom was, or is, enormously blessed—for themselves and to bless others—by coming to know God. -

All men are welcome!](malito:care@firstchurch.org) The First Church Prayer Ministry seeks to care and provide the personal interest, intercession, and compassion that our Lord Jesus demonstrated. We believe God sustains and grows us through prayer. For this reason, our church and its ministries are bathed in prayer every day of the week. Jesus taught His disciples to pray unceasingly for everything and in all circumstances. The First Church Prayer Ministry promotes the importance of prayer for all.  Freedom Prayer is a scripture-based personal prayer ministry, designed to help you in the process of recognizing and resolving any hindrances that may keep you from a close relationship with God. The Freedom Prayer model is designed to identify and pray through hindrances created by wounding and trauma, false beliefs about God, and entanglements such as addictions or unhealthy ties to people or things. Freedom Prayer operates to provide solid Biblical reconciliation and restoration that promotes a healthy prayer life and disciples individuals into a whole and abiding relationship with God. Prayer sessions are scheduled in advance with a team of three trained prayer ministers. Lastly, Freedom Prayer offers you an opportunity to share your most sensitive heart-issues in a safe setting, where you can trust that all information shared will remain confidential. - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) --- ## URL: https://www.firstchurch.org/erica-liljenberg ### Title: Erica Liljenberg ### Page ID: 5540595 ### Content: Erica joined our staff after being a long-term substitute teacher during the Spring of 2022.

LET US NOT GIVE UP MEETING TOGETHER, AS SOME ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING, BUT LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER - AND ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING. Life Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. At First Church, one of our Focus Values is community. Life Groups are one way that we can focus and grow together as a community. A First Church Life Group is a small community of roughly twelve people who meet regularly for an informal time of fellowship and learning. They encourage one another in spiritual growth through study, discussion, and sharing together God's Word. If you are interested in becoming a part of a Life Group, OR interested in starting one, please contact Pastor Todd at [Toddw@firstchurch.org](toddw@firstchurch.org), or 860 529 1575 ext.115. Grief Share has just released a newly revised curriculum of their 13-week course of Hope and Healing After the Death of a Loved One.

The cost is $15 for the workbook. Seats are limited. Pre-registration is required.

It requires us to surrender our disoriented sense of need to his perfect sense of what is best. We wait with expectant hearts to see When Women Pray. All are welcome to join in this prayer time. For more information, contact Diane at **care****@firstchurch.org**. or 860-529-1575, ext. 117. Wednesday Evenings, beginning September 25-6:30-8:00 PM All are invited to join this six-week study as we read and discuss Daniel Henderson's book, Transforming Prayer, How Everything Changes When You Seek God's Face. The location is still to be determined. Author Daniel Henderson, calls us out of wish-list praying, seeking what we want God to do for us. Instead, by seeking His face, our ears are awakened and we experience how prayer moves us to a deeper level of spiritual intimacy and transformation.

Serve the LORD with gladness; come into his presence with singing!”  – Psalm 100: 1-2* The First Church Choir will present a Festival of Lessons and Carols on Sunday, December 21st at 4:00 PM, the opening event for our 2025-2026 Meetinghouse Concert Series. The Festival is a traditional holiday program of beloved carols and sacred readings telling the story of the Nativity which has been performed at the chapel of King’s College, Cambridge in England since the early 20th century. The program tells the story from the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve disobey God, up to the birth of Christ the Messiah at Christmas. The service typically includes the haunting carol, “Once in Royal David’s City.” As always, admission to the concert is free, with a donation accepted at intermission. Come bring in the spirit of Christmas for you and your family, joining with the choir to sing many of your favorite carols! Our praise band of talented adult and high-school aged vocalists and instrumentalists lead our Contemporary Worship Service each Sunday, bringing the best that Contemporary Christian music has to offer to enrich our spirit-filled worship. Contact Nathan Scalise at [**Nathan.scalise@gmail.com**](mailto:nathan.scalise@gmail.com) for more information.

Once a month, they combine with FCC’s versatile Contemporary Music Ensemble to present inspiring choral arrangements of classic contemporary Christian worship songs. The choir presents concerts at Christmas and on Palm Sunday of masterpieces with orchestra as part of our annual Meetinghouse Concert Series. No audition is necessary, come give it a try!

Founded in 1635, the congregation spans nearly 390 years, making it one of America’s earliest Puritan settlements. The current Georgian brick meetinghouse, with its iconic white steeple modeled after Boston’s Old North Church, has stood since 1761. This steeple has witnessed the footsteps of American giants. George Washington worshipped here with French General Comte de Rochambeau on May 20, 1781, during the planning of the Siege of Yorktown. John Adams climbed it in 1774 and wrote that it offered “the most grand and beautiful prospect in the world.” Although Victorian-era modifications in the 19th century changed aspects of the design, a careful restoration in the 1970s returned the building and its steeple to its original 1761 appearance. Now, as we face the challenge of structural wear and age, our beloved steeple needs urgent restoration to preserve its integrity and beauty. *"We went up the steeple of the Wethersfield Meetinghouse from whence is the most grand and beautiful prospect in the world, at least, that I ever saw."* As a site where founding-era leaders worshipped and historic events were witnessed, this steeple is more than architecture. For nearly four centuries, our steeple has stood as a visible symbol guiding our community and welcoming all. This is a rare chance to ensure this national treasure remains stable and inspiring for generations to come. By giving today, you become part of a story that stretches back to the founding of our nation. The steeple, built in 1761, stands at an impressive height of nearly 170 feet, with brick work representative of 16th and 17th century construction methods displaying diamond patterning in the “Old English Bond” style. Above the brick tower is a delightful wooden balustrade level painted bright white and topped with a spire and a weathervane. One of the few remaining churches of its era, First Church is quite unique. Though the steeple looks in relatively good condition for its age, there are some underlying problems which need to be remedied. The most obvious being the wooden areas needing painting and areas of rot that need to be replaced. There are internal elements that require attention as well. As an example, the main bell is no longer in use due to the poor condition of the supporting beams. Insect damage has resulted in the deterioration of several of the support posts and beams of the tower. Both the tower and steeple are in immediate and desperate need of repair. The tower is made of brick that was produced and fired here in Wethersfield. Perhaps our forefathers felt that bricks were more durable, and the extra cost involved was justified (a rather unusual construction material for the time.) The bricks, however, are soft in comparison to today’s and, therefore, need special attention. Bricks must have been harvested from the interior to be used on the exterior. Due to the expansion and contraction of the brick, a special mortar is required to match this movement. Your contribution to our GoFundMe campaign will help cover restoration costs, from stabilizing the spire to reinforcing supports and preserving this iconic symbol of American history. - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - About Us - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [I'm New](/visiting) - [Ministries](/ministries) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Events](/events) - [Preschool](/preschool) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) - [What We Believe](/what-we-believe) - [Our History](/our-history) - [Our Team](/staff) - [Resources](/resources) - [Give](/give) - [Get Involved](/get-involved) - [Job Opportunities!](/job-opportunities) - [Children](/children) - [Youth](/youth) - [Young Adults](/young-adults) - [Women](/women) - [Men](/men) - [Prayer](/prayer-ministries) - [Groups](/groups) - [Serve](/get-involved) - [Music](/music) - [Missions and Outreach](/missions-and-outreach) - [Main Page](/main-page) - [About Our School](/about-our-school) - [Registration & Classes](/registration-and-classes) - [Meet Our Staff](/meet-our-staff) - [Lunch Bunch & Enrichment Classes](/lunch-bunch-and-enrichment-classes) --- ## URL: https://www.firstchurch.org/coming-soon-2 ### Title: Coming Soon!
