We are committed to loving each other as God loves us, freely and unconditionally. We welcome everyone, without exception. We meet each other as we are with love

We gather to celebrate the living God and welcome people at any point of their faith journey. The Church was founded in 1644, and a few of our members are descendants of the original founders of the church. The church has had five meeting-houses since its incorporation, and our current building is a picturesque white steepled church overlooking the village green. The Sunday morning sound of the call-to-worship tower bell is a community landmark. While our congregation deeply respects and cherishes our historical traditions, we are firmly rooted in the present. We recognize the complexity of contemporary issues and endeavor to apply Christian values in the challenges of our everyday lives, using the Bible as an interpretive guide. With the help, guidance and inspiration of our pastors as "fellow travelers on a faith journey," we seek to expand our understandings of biblical, theological and spiritual knowledge. Tradition does not prevent us from embracing change, as we recognize the intellectual opportunity for challenge and growth through this process. We value personal relationships throughout our church community, creating an effective internal support network that can be relied upon in times of physical and emotional need. As an extension of this network, we support community-wide and international missions in the same spirit.

☀️ **A beautiful Sunday at First Church in Wenham!**
It may be chilly outside, but the sunshine and warmth of our church made for a wonderful morning!

We were happy to welcome Pastor Shellie back from vacation and enjoyed beautiful music from Joe, Janet, Amy, and our choir. 🎶 Today was especially meaningful as we celebrated **Joe’s 40th anniversary as our church organist!** Four decades of sharing his incredible musical gifts, enriching our worship, and being such an important part of our church family is truly something special. ❤️ Congratulations and thank you, Joe, for 40 wonderful years! Rev. Sean shared a thoughtful message on patience, reminding us of the importance of slowing down and making room for patience in our daily lives.

The celebration continued with a reception in Holland Hall, followed by our **Blessing of the Animals** in front of the church. 🐾 We love bringing our community together to celebrate the special place our pets hold in our lives.

A special thank-you to **The Petal Cart in Wenham** The Petal Cart for refreshing our flowerpot out front and helping make our church entrance beautiful! 🌸

It was a lovely day to gather, celebrate, and give thanks. There’s always a place for you here at First Church.
