Children of all ages are invited to participate in their own program, which follows the opening of our Sunday meeting. Until we have rebuilt the church, they will adjourn after Children's time with their leaders to the Remington Lodge, at 21 West Main Street, West Cummington.
At the conclusion of our service, the children will join us at the Parish House for coffee, tea and cookies. Parents are always welcome to join the childrens program and everyone is welcome to volunteer and share their specific talent with the kids.
Early on the morning of Sunday, January 17, 2010, the 170 year old West Cummington Congregational Church burned to the ground. The fire was first spotted about 5:30am and firefighters from seven towns were at the blaze within a half hour but there was no chance of saving it.
All that morning church members & friends came and watched the smoke and charred remains on the hill. At three in the afternoon we gathered again in the Parish House to share our loss, to grieve together, and to reminisce about our experiences and our love for that beautiful, unique old building. Many recalled weddings and baptisms; others told stories of past members of the church; still others talked of cherished items they will miss. |
