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.


Our annual stewardship pledge drive is underway.  If you have not already returned your pledge card, please do so.  If you do not have a copy of the pledge card, please print the attached PDF and return to our church office. Learn more about what stewardship means.

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.

Having you been coming to church, but didn't know how to become an official member? It is easy to become a member of this church, all you have to do is meet with Victoria to discuss the process. Anyone who is considering joining the church is encouraged to contact Victoria either by phone or by  her email at meandmythree@att.net . Victoria will be meeting with those who are interested in joining the church and will be selecting a date for people to join, during the next month. If you have any questions, wondered what it would be like to be a member, or just want to learn more about the church, please contact Victoria.


WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP OF SUTTON

The Women’s Fellowship of Sutton is an ecumenical group based at First Congregational Church. Our mission is to offer support to our members, the church and our community.  The group awards annual scholarships to graduating high school seniors.  We maintain a ‘Home and Community’ fund to help people with emergency needs.

Regular meetings are held on the fourth Monday of the month.  Meetings can be held in the church or in someone’s home.  Meetings are social and educational - and hopefully contribute to the treasury.  A popular new tradition is a pot luck supper on a summer evening with family and friends.  Our biggest fund raiser is the annual Flea Market, held in June.

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.

Please call Nancy at 865-4907 with questions.
