Coming of Age Worship is always a special Sunday when we're reminded just how much we can all learn from the younger voices in the community. This past CoA Suday was no exception. These 5 youth are wise, funny, talented, deeply thoughtful, and did a great job with the faith statement. Carve out some time to watch the service if you didn't get a chance this weekend; it WON'T disappoint!

This past Saturday, the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire unveiled a mural of Ona Judge at their headquarters on Court Street. Ona was born enslaved to George and Martha Washington, and escaped to Portsmouth at the age of 22. In New Hampshire, she married and raised 3 children, but remained a fugitive until her death in 1848. On Sunday, Kirsten told the story of Ona's bravery and took the youth of South Church to see the newly painted mural just across the street.
