The church will hold its annual yard sale on Saturday, June 28, 2025 from 8:30 a.m. to noon in the Parish Hall.  Come and see what bargains you can find!  We see people leaving with armloads of items, so there is something for everyone!!!!

We are very excited to welcome our new Minister of Music, Salvatore Capaccio - he prefers to be called Sonny.  We are so very fortunate to have him join us.  He's multi-talented with a passion for sharing and teaching music.  He believes music in the church is about enhancing the spiritual  experience of worship and that music has the power to heal.

Sonny has vast experience in voice, directing, arrangement and composition.  He has a B.A. in Music and has played and sung in multiple music ensembles.  He's skilled in several musical instruments including piano, organ, oboe, French horn, harpsicord, percussion and electric bass.  Sonny has been involved in theatrical and choral performances.  He has taught Math and Music and has been a cantorial soloist at St. George Church in Connecticut.  Recently, he has directed choral performances at Poland Regional High School and Casco Bay High School.  

We believe Sonny will bring to our church not only fresh ideas and experience, but will work hard to bring God's message in music to all.
