Congregational Life Board

The members of the Congregational Life Board are responsible for overseeing our worship services, and fellowship events, and the decorating of our beautiful sanctuary.  This Board works with the Minister to enhance the spiritual life of the Church by preparing the Lord’s Supper, assisting with communion and baptisms, visiting the sick and homebound, and sponsoring retreats. 

As part of their responsibility for worship, Congregational Life members support the Music program, its staff, and volunteers.  Congregational Life makes recommendations on musical instruments and has maintained our spectacular Hooks and Hastings organ (rebuilt by Aeolian Skinner in 1959) in top condition.  In the fall of 2007, the Board helped our Music Director, Mark Cherry, to secure a Knabe Grand Piano for use during services  This wonderful piano, which was once owned by a renowned opera singer, was headed for oblivion until it found a home at First Church.

Congregational Life members also bring meals to the homebound, organize ongoing Adult Fellowship activities (see the photos throughout this website), help other Church groups with their events, and sponsor delegates to the Fairfield East Association and the Connecticut Conference.

If any of these activities particularly appeals to you, please call or email info@firstchurchdanbury.org for more information.
