This Sunday at First Church - 10 am

West African Dance & Drums

Dance to the Music
of the Drum


First Church of Christ, Congregational
190 Court Street
Middletown, CT


In my search for a home church a few years ago, I decided to give First Church another chance. It was a life-changing decision: As I walked into the Parish Hall, the hypnotic fullness of drum beat and energy stirred me beyond words, and I was home.

On Sunday, Guinean dance and drum master Aly Tatchol Camara will again perform at First Church. A choreographer, as well as singer, dancer, and drummer, Aly is a native of the West African country of Guinea and principal dance instructor for the
New Haven School of African Dance and Drumming at Yale University. He will perform with his son and with the First Church African Drumming Ensemble. We invite you to come and see what it's all about.

First Church is an Open and Affirming Church: All are welcome into the full life of our community regardless of their race, age, gender, nationality, marital status, economic situation, mental or physical ability, or sexual orientation. No matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome. Come visit and see. We won't bore you. We won't talk down to you. We will love you and respect your intelligence. We will give you tools to help you deepen and pursue your spiritual path.

Child care is provided on Sundays, and parking is available on Court Street and in the surrounding neighborhood.
