First Church of Christ In Wethersfield

A historic landmark in the heart of Old Wethersfield, the First Church of Christ was erected in…read more1761 as the third meetinghouse of the congregation, which was "gathered" or formed in 1635, and also as the assembly hall for town meetings. As late as 1838, it served this double purpose. Today it is the home and central building of the largest Congregational church in New England. George Washington worshiped in the Meetinghouse on May 20, 1781, while in town to confer with Rochambeau to plan what proved to be the final phase of the American Revolution--the Battle of Yorktown. John Adams visited the Meetinghouse and climbed the ladder in the bell tower to peer through the lantern windows where he beheld, in his words, "the most grand and beautiful Prospect in the World." The Meetinghouse is a model of Congregational or Puritan architecture, with its high, central pulpit, its clear glass windows and its simple, chaste lines. Its simplicity went undisturbed until the 1800s, when a series of alterations gave it a more Gothic appearance. The changes included the removal of the pulpit and the box pews. In 1973, through the generous bequest of Jane Robbins Dunham, the Meetinghouse was magnificently restored to its original character and beauty. The original pulpit was returned. Clear glass was reinstalled. Box and slip pews were put in place. The advantages of modern recessed lighting and air conditioning were also introduced. The bell tower is a showpiece, similar in design to that of Old North Church in Boston. While largely unchanged through the years, it required restoration in 1979-1980, at which time the authentic fan-design windows were installed. In the evening, the lighted spire shines as a beacon of hope and faith, viewable for miles around.

Here for a blood drive that I saw on the side of the road and glad I came in. The church from what…read moreI've seen is really well maintained. There is a receptionist when you walk in that will help you get where you going. I was directed to the basement that is a little dank but from what I can see the place is used for events and seeinf a kitchen it could be a dinner or lunch done here. I was blown away by the bathroom. That is much different than the basement but the first floor is beautiful. I saw on the TV there are events like yoga and the blood drive I'm here for. Old Wethersfield has gems just like this.

You & I & everyone has sinned & done evil and the punishment for that is Hell forever but, God didn't want that so Jesus who is God (God is a trinity, meaning he is three in one also known as three 'persons' in one being named God. The Father, The Son/Jesus, and The Holy Spirit are equally God, but they are different but equally the same being It's why God is called a trinity because he is triune.) Jesus came to earth as a human man and lived a perfect life, and he did many different kinds of miracles and the leaders hated him, and they wanted him killed, so they took him and killed by nailing him to a cross and letting him die but, he rose three days later from the dead and when he did this he took your punishment of Gods wrath and paid your price on the cross, and he made a way for you to be saved from paying your evil deeds yourself and Jesus says if you place your faith in him alone as your personal savior he will save you. You can't earn salvation because you already don't deserve it and we deserve hell, but Jesus died for your sins and if you trust him alone as your savior he will save you.

I recently attended a wedding at this cathedral. It is a wonderful combination of beauty and…read morefunction. It is a treat for the eyes and also for the ears with the superb acoustics. No booklets and pamphlets were out today, just the QR codes on the back of the pews. I'll assume they still have those to distribute for older parishioners who might not have or want to use an electronic device. The kneelers are very heavy to move. Since I'm sure the cathedral gets many guests, I'd like to see a few more directional signs - as many of us entered for the wedding, I frequently heard, " Where do I enter?" or "Am I supposed to take the elevator?" But once you get past those things, you'll enjoy the experience.

I've seen quite a few impressive cathedrals around the world, including St. Francis in St. Louis…read morehttps://www.yelp.com/biz/st-francis-xavier-college-church-saint-louis?hrid=2Y2BMChxdXLxTj9c3oD2QA, Cattedrale di Palermo in Sicily https://www.yelp.com/biz/cattedrale-di-palermo-palermo?hrid=sekzQVqMLqLaS3oqlkglRg, Basílica Pontificia de San Miguel in Madrid https://www.yelp.com/biz/bas%C3%ADlica-pontificia-de-san-miguel-madrid-2?hrid=C4kBfpglSEnAd4tALXEKCw, Duomo di Milano https://www.yelp.com/biz/duomo-di-milano-milano-3?hrid=Qg9uTmi5Dk17aRDlCjoVQQ, and the beautiful Grundtvigs Kirke in Copenhagen https://www.yelp.com/biz/grundtvigs-kirke-k%C3%B8benhavn-nv?hrid=c2fByuVKUIkc3WJZD58ZHw. As a modern cathedral, this one in Hartford is absolutely stunning and is as magnificent as any of the above. I arrived on a weekday and was already impressed by the imposing exterior. Surprisingly, the doors were unlocked and the cathedral is open. Masks are still required in late May. There was no one in the central nave or at the altar. The structure was empty and very quiet. It made for some lovely pictures and afterwards, I took a seat and had a moment of reflection. There is free parking outside and as I mentioned, the building is open. Well worth your time if you're touristing in Hartford. [Review 15184 overall, 686 of 2021, number 36 in Connecticut.]
