Church Services Suspended for Now

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we are not holding our usual services in the church building until further notice. 

However, that does not mean that the church is not active.  Pastor Chris is sending out sermons and recordings of sermons through email, and is making calls to keep everyone connected in this anxious time.  If you need assistance, or would like him to reach out to you, call him at (603) 785-9979 or email him at pastorcstage@yahoo.com.  

Please stay safe, and pray for the well-being of all those affected by the pandemic.

Do you want to sing or ring? Calling those with an interest in music!

Do you like to sing?  Have you always wanted to try playing handbells in a bell choir?  

Our church choir is recruiting singers to come and join us.  Do you like singing the works by great masters?  Do you like contemporary settings of old favorites?  Then come join us!  We do a mix of many types of music from a variety of styles and periods.  

We also planning on doing some bell choir pieces for Easter week.  No prior experience is necessary, and the skills will be taught as we go.  Ringing handbells is a fun group experience, and a great way to get involved with music.    

If you are interested in joining us, come to the Sunday morning service at 10:30 AM and speak to Geneva or Sarah.
