The Federated Church of Sturbridge & Fiskdale has announced that it will hold a “Welcome Home Sunday” service on September 8 at 9:30 a.m. Families who may be interested in learning more what the church has to offer in terms of community and religious education are warmly invited to attend. The church is located at 8 Maple Street, Sturbridge.

According to Reverend David W. Cote, pastor, “an early portion of the ‘Welcome Home Sunday’ service will include a special children’s message after which they and their parents will be guided to Fellowship Hall to join the church’s Sunday School staff.” When the service has ended, the congregation will move to Fellowship Hall for refreshments and a social hour.

“Going forward, our CORI-certified staff will be available during all future Sunday services to supervise up to 25 children, aged 6 months to 10 years of age while their parents attend church,” Pastor Dave said. “The Sunday School program will encourage Christian morals and ethics, within their understanding and age level, through story time, videos, crafts, and other activities aligned with that week’s teachings and sermons.”

The Federated Church of Sturbridge & Fiskdale joyfully celebrates Christ’s presence and God’s grace in our lives. Community members are welcome and invited to join in worship on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. Services are also live streamed on the church’s Facebook page.
