First Church participated in the Town-wide tag sale on Saturday, August 10th. The tag sale was a fundraiser to repair the failing floor of our historic little church. The support was overwhelming and we are very grateful to say that we have started a nice little foundation for our foundation fund. Our fundraising efforts will continue until we reach our goal. Stay tuned for more ways to help! We thank you all for your support!
Recently, First Church of South Windsor hosted a group of travelers visiting from a Christian church from Korea. They were interested in learning more about Jonathan Edwards and Timothy Edwards. We were happy to arrange that! It was truly a wonderful time of learning and laughter with our new friends from The First Church of Samsong. Thanks for visiting us!
Recently, some of us gathered for fun evening of fellowship and crafting paper flowers. We used paper from books, maps, and even a favorite hymnal. A few of our members had recently learned how to make these paper flowers at the South Windsor Public Library and wanted to share them with friends at our church. A nice time was had by all and we look forward to our May fun & fellowship evening creating patriotic paper stars!
We would love to see you at church! Sundays at 10:00AM in person and on zoom. Please contact the church office for the link.

There will be a new member reception later this summer. Anyone interested in becoming a member of First Congregational Church, please speak to Pastor Dean and plan to meet with the Deacons following worship to let them know your intentions.
Worship is at 10:00AM on Sundays and offered both in person and on zoom.
Sewin4Servicemen2024
Sewin4Servicemen is a group of dedicated sewers and quilters organized by First Church member, Judy Borré. They have been meeting in our church basement for years over the winter, generally 4 times for these all day sewing projects. Patriotic lap quilts are made for deserving veterans in our town as a special thank you for their service to our country. A few photos below from our lap quilt presentations recently. Thanks to all the sewers and quilters, and of course, organizer Judy Borré for their dedication to this special mission.
Interested in joining us? You do not need to be a member or have an affiliation with First Congregational Church. All are welcome here! Don't sew? We need ironers!

OUR HISTORIC CHURCH SEEKS INCLUSIVENESS AND VOTES TO WELCOME ALL!
​
First Congregational Church of South Windsor wants the world to know that we have begun a new journey! First Congregational Church of South Windsor is now an Open and Affirming church community! On January 26, 2020, the historic congregation committed to what is surely one of the most important decisions made in our storied, 325+ year history. What exactly does this mean? This means that:
​
We seek to widen our expression of God’s Love by becoming a place of inclusiveness, diversity, and unconditional love that inspires all individuals in our community regardless of race, culture, age, ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
We strive to apply Jesus’ teaching by recognizing that every individual is a child of God and we welcome all to join us on our faith journey in providing guidance, love, and hope to our community and the world in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
Come, join us! “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!” Worship Services on Sunday mornings at 10:00 am.
