Pentecost - May 28th
 
​Pentecost is a Christian holiday that celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ after his resurrection and ascension. It is also considered the birth of the Church and its mission to the world.
Pentecost is derived from a Greek word meaning fiftieth, and it occurs on the 50th day after Easter Sunday. It is also related to the Jewish festival of Shavuot, which commemorates the giving of the Torah to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Pentecost is one of the major feasts in many Christian traditions, and it is often celebrated with special liturgies, prayers, hymns, and symbols. Some churches use red as the color of Pentecost, representing the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Second Saturdays on Pleasant Street

Picture
The Greater Claremont Chamber of Commerce is spearheading the Pleasant Street Second Saturday events to draw people downtown to explore what there is going on. First Congregational Church is hosting events on each of the Saturdays during the summer months starting on June 10th, 11 am - 3 pm. 
We will be serving popcorn, cotton candy, crepes (Maggie is a wicked good crepe flipper!), and Lime Ricky's outside for our first event on June 10th. Carla Schaffer will be playing the organ with our doors wide open for all to enjoy. Please plan to come on down and bring family and friends to the Alumnae Parade followed by lots of activities all down Pleasant Street. 




Come, be our guest on Sunday mornings 

Are you one of those people who jokingly say the church roof may collapse if you step foot in the door? Maybe you have been away from active church life for many years. Now your heart may be drawing you towards deeper reflection and connection to other seekers. And yet you are not sure what to expect if you decide to come in the doors at 72 Pleasant St. Click here for a basic primer and what you can expect to see, hear, and experience.
