A History of Westport United Congregational Church
Thursday, April 17th 2008
7:30 PM at the United Congregational Church
500 American Legion Highway (Rte 177), Westport
Please join us for the first in a series of presentations on the history of Westport’s churches. Reverend Sue Moenius, pastor of the United Congregational Church since 1996, with contributions from members of the congregation, will trace the history of the church. Westport United Congregational Church was created from the merger of two churches, the First Christian Church of North Westport, founded in 1855 and the Fourth Christian Church, also known as Brownell’s Corner Church, on Sanford Road, which was founded in 1843. In 1966, following the merger, a new church was built at 500 American Legion Highway. Materials relating to the history of the UCC will also be on display.
