Sebago Center Community Church

Sebago Center Community Church Our Christian congregation not only welcomes all with open arms, we help build a community.

The Sebago Center Community Church was formed March 31,1856, by a group of 10 men who pledged $100 or an average of 100 days' pay, to erect a "meeting house". The building was erected during the summer of that year with completion the following April. The records reveal that one man and a yoke of oxen took an entire day to go to the nearest railroad station at Steep Falls to collect a load of mate

rial and return with them to the church site. The building was used by two groups- a Congregational Society centered at the Baldwin Congregational and a Sebago Baptist congregation-until 1876 when the two groups merged to support a full-time community minister. In 1895, a Congregational Society separate from the Baldwin Church was formed as the Union Congregational Church of Sebago and actively continued until the mid -1920's when interest and support began to dwindle. There followed a long period of time when the church was either opened for only short intervals or was closed entirely except for summer and special occasions. But as the twentieth century passed its mid-point, history repeated itself. People living in or near Sebago Center again wanted a church, and on June 29,1952, the church was reopened permanently as the Sebago Center Community Church. On Sunday, August 11, 1957 a gala celebration marked the Church's centennial anniversary, At the time, a stone chipped from a huge granite slabs that formed the foundation of the church was hollowed out and inscribed for the missing corner stone. Inside the hollow of the stone is a copper box which contains material appropriate to the history of the church.

Good morning!! Hopefully everyone has a wonderful Thursday!

Leaving with that let's begin with the 'Daily' :

There is something that seemed genuine and beautiful about relaxing as one gets a scoop of ice cream. It seemed as each person has their own favorite of ice cream. Each ingredients under certain circumstance makes a flavorful delight. It seemed to be a staple, especially in the summer months. The scripture from Ecclesiastes seemed to make one think of this.

'That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil- this is the gift of God' Ecclesiastes 3:14

There was something about eating ice cream in the summer time that often brings us back to our childhood. Personally, the days of 'Beaches' seemed to be a staple as well as 'Richards Dairy Delight' throughout that time- however Red's Dairy Barn in South Portland was another favorite.

A flood of memories can come from a cone of ice cream walking down memory lane. It was also a reminder that sometimes we have to be under circumstances and the right ingredients for everything to come out right- it doesn't mean it isn't in our favor, it just mean's it is in God's timing not our timing.

“Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.”– Psalm 34:8

Taste and see what the Lord is good. It doesn't mean just 'ice cream' but to taste life. Taste life as the best is yet to come.

John 14:1-3 “Do not be worried and upset” Jesus told them. “Believe in God and believe also in me. There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if this were not so. And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am. You know the way that leads to the place where I am going.”

Let us pray,

Dear Father,
Let us be reminded to be thankful for the moments, the treats in life. Let us be reminded to taste life as you anticipated for us to taste for what is from you. Let us relish in the moments and be blessed and praise you that we have them. Let us not worry about what else is going on in this noisy world, but instead pause, and be present in your presence.
Thank you Lord, for the moments in which you give us opportunity to spend time with our family and friends over a sweet treat in which we share with one or another. Thank you for the wonderful company and memories in which has been a staple around ice cream.
In Your name- Amen.
