Month: June 2010

This year the children built an A.R.K. Each week, as the Acts of Random Kindness were recorded, we saw the ARK get bigger and bigger. On Children’s Sunday, the superintendent, Chris Cathcart, shared with the congregation many examples of the acts of random kindness as the Children received their awards. Anne Mulrain created a wonderful slide show of the children learning, growing and playing throughout the year. Joshua St. Laurent and Andrew Cathcart were presented with their own Bibles. Thank you to our teachers, Chris and Jim Cathcart, Louise Do, Anne and Kelli Mulrain and to all the children for a wonderful Children’s Sunday and another great year.

Installation Service and Dinner

On April 25, 2010 was the church was filled to capacity as we celebrated the installation of Rev Doreen Oughton as the pastor of the First Congregational Church of Leicester. Members of our church, clergy from the Central Association and friends of Doreen’s participated in the service, making it a memorable event. After the service, we gathered in Russell Hall to celebrate and enjoy a delicious turkey dinner.

Welcome Doreen. May we grow together in our faith.
