Swanzey Old Home Day July 19, 2025

The First Congregational Church of Swanzey holds a significant place in the rich history of our beloved town. On Saturday, July 19, we were blessed to celebrate that heritage at Old Home Day and enjoy our terrific community with sunshine and blue skies!  Thanks to Jennifer, Cyndi, Sue, Lou, Pat, Denise, Jane, Nora, David and Barbara V., Shirley, Kristen, Becky, Pastor Christopher, David S., Lynda and Francis, and everyone else who helped plan, inflate beach balls, set-up, take-down, etc.!  The float looked terrific and really captured the theme of our place in Swanzey’s history.  Our booth attracted many visitors who were interested in hearing about our church and appreciated the information and fun “swag” we gave away.  God has blessed us, faithfully and abundantly, in Our Little Place of Quiet Grace. 

Emma was excited to bring some homemade blueberry-lemon and banana bread 

to Pat in celebration of her upcoming 90th birthday. Happy Birthday, Pat! 

Jumanji 30th Anniversary Celebration

We had a "roaring" good time at the Jumanji 30th Anniversary celebration on June 21 in downtown Keene.  It was a perfect summer day and we had a great location for our booth on Central Square.  Thank you to everyone who helped or stopped by to say hello.  This was a wonderful way to connect with the community and spread the word about our church and the Love of God!
