Join us on February 16 as we celebrate our church’s 385th birthday!

On this special Sunday, our congregation will take a trip back in time and explore the stories of 20 generations of our church family from 1639 to the present. In 2014, during the 375th celebration, we had seven members of the thousands, whose lives overlapped in what was titled “Six Degrees of Separation, Plus One.” They will tell their stories that reflected the times they lived and the issues that they experienced. Featured members include Moses Wheeler, the first ferryman in Stratford, who was born during Queen Elizabeth I’s reign, and Ray Severance, who served during WWII and passed away just a few years ago. We will add a new representative, as a seventh, too. We will also be showing segments of that historical play. In addition, we will add ten more “links” to the historic chain that was created to symbolize our interconnectedness with our past, a chain that stretches about almost 200 feet and was used during the Stratford Parade in 2014. Our congregation will have a procession with the chain and we will add five new icons to it. There will be choral and instrumental music. There will be displays and a party after service in Upper Packard Hall, too! Hopefully, all our church family will participate!
