For nearly 100 years, everyone associated with the
First Congregational Church has benefited from
the vision and spirit of its major benefactress,
Sarah S. Brayton. She provided a legacy in the
building of this church that has been a home for
those seeking comfort in times of personal loss;
happiness in times of marital unions; promise in
times of family baptisms; fellowship in social
gatherings; and most of all, praise and joy for
those who gather in worship.
However, the years have taken their toll on a
church that fulfilled her dream and her desire that
succeeding generations would preserve what she
created. As faithful stewards of this beautiful
building, it is our responsibility to respond to the
need of our Property and Prudential committees in
supporting the ongoing mission of our church into
the future.
Simply put, the building is in need of immediate
renovations that will guarantee the future role our
church assumes with its membership and the
community. It is imperative that everyone who has
benefited from this church’s solemn place in one’
s life explore their conscience and feel the
importance of perpetuating what Sarah Brayton so
generously provided.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the
content of this presentation and prepare yourself
to be a significant part of the church’s future plans
for a continuing spiritual witness.
