First Church Hosts Conversations on Middletown's Past

Conversations on Middletown's Past in March
 

The Rev. Julia Burkey, pastor of First Church in Middletown.

The ongoing series of conversations hosted by First Church celebrates our history and opens up frank conversation about various episodes in our history, some of which do not make us especially proud. 

Come and enjoy a look into our history and stories of how our society evolved, as reflected in events in our church and our community. The conversations take place in our "second-hour" forum, which takes place after the church service and features speakers, musicians, authors, dancers, lecturers, and others invited to enrich our Sundays.


March 25, 11am to noon

On March 25, historian and writer Dione Longly leads two more second-hour conversations on our early history gleaned from both church and historical society archives. Her next presentation takes place on Sunday, March 25th, and is free and open to all. 

During Ms. Longly's last talk, we learned of our tiny wooden outpost-church--kind of a stockade cabin, its unheated space protected by armed guards, and of the occasional scandal of improper "liaisons."  

First Church is an open and affirming congregation at 190 Court Street, Middletown, CT. For more information see First Church in Middletown. 

Come to church, stay for coffee & snack—and Second Hour. Then have lunch at one of Middletown's fine restaurants just a block away on Main Street.
