History:

The Methodist Church (built in 1829) was a few rods west of the Old Meeting House (built in 1792) on Marlow Hill. In 1845 the Methodist Church and the Old Meeting House were moved down to the "plains" or Village. The Methodist Church was enlarged in 1866 and the Old Meeting House eventually became Jones Hall and was remodeled in 1881. Sunday morning services used to begin at 8:45 AM.

We gladly receive and store your nonperishable donations anytime on the back pew. Fresh items are a special treat and should be brought on the 3rd Sunday. Thank you for your contributions!

Volunteers Needed! Consider your personal gifts and which (NOT whether) of these church tasks you can help with: Organize Coffee Hour (contact Sharon Davis) / Read Scripture (contact Gerry Plotts) / Weed (Just do it!) / Sing with Choir (contact Sharon Davis) / Bake for food pantry (Just do it!) / Write for newsletter (e-mail to Dave Stewart at autumnsden@webryders.net) / Prepare Communion (contact Barb White to get on schedule) / Help with Sunday School (contact Marcia Levesque) / Sweep Narthex and Steps (Just do it!) / Community and Shut-in Visitation (contact Pastor Cheryl).

Have You Hosted a “Fellowship Coffee Hour???” Sign-up sheet on back table.

Men’s Fellowship: We’re looking for a few good men! Join Gary Levesque and others in a new mission adventure which will meet periodically to share a hearty breakfast and then provide handyman services to local elderly or infirm residents such as painting and carpentry.

Tape Ministry: A tape machine and tapes have been donated to share our worship service with homebound members and now we need to put together a list of people who would like to receive the tapes and another list of those who would be willing to deliver them. Contact Jim Meachen to volunteer.

In the Hospital? Please let Pastor Cheryl, your family and church friends know your room number. In keeping with the Privacy of Information Law, the current policy at Cheshire Medical Center is to tell the registrar that you want clergy to visit you, and that you want to be listed on the church admissions list with your name and church affiliation noted.

Check the bulletin board, table in the entryway, & back pews for new items and/or information. Out-of-date items should be removed.
