WELCOME TO THE CHURCH ON THE COMMON!  

 

For more than 275 years, First Congregational Church of Sutton has ministered to the Sutton community, providing a spiritual

house where generations of men, women and children have worshipped, laughed and cried, dreamed dreams and tried to respond to the call of God.

 

Today our church continues to proclaim Jesus’ message of Love, Hope and Joy as we look toward the challenges and opportunities of ministry ahead.

 

 

The mission of the First Congregational Church of Sutton is to serve God by sharing the teaching, faith, love and forgiveness of Christ. Providing an open and caring place of worship. Serving our church family and community in the spirit of charity and faith.

MAKING WORSHIP ACCESSIBLE FOR YOU

Did you know that here at First Church, we strive to make our worship accessible and friendly to all worshippers? 

  • As you enter the church each week, you will notice that we have large print bulletins available.  
  • Also we have special hearing assistance devices, available to all worshippers. These devices plug into our sound system and can be accessed through several of the pews that have been wired for these wonderful aids.
  • We also have a handicap ramp at the side of the building. This ramp leads the worshipper right to the front of our sanctuary, so that they can be an active part of the congregation.
  • In addition, the Deacons are more than willing to provide transportation to and from worship, for those who are in need of this service. If you would like a ride to church, please call the church office at 508-865-6914.

WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP OF SUTTON

An ecumenical group based at First Congregational Church. Any woman may join. Our mission is to offer support to our members, the church and our community.


Regular meetings are held on the fourth Monday of the month (except for November, December and January). Meetings are held in the church living room or in someone’s home. Meetings are social and educational. The group does fundraising to support worthy causes within the community and to support the church. A new tradition is to have a pot luck supper on a summer evening with family and friends.


The WFS hosts the April and September coffee hours. In each of those months we have a hotdog lunch one Sunday, and a bake sale another. The group is available to help with parties and funeral receptions -with a complete Silver Tea or a less formal presentation.  For more information, please call Nancy at 508-865-4907.
