First Congregational Church of Hamilton will celebrate its 300th anniversary in the coming months.

Starting with a kick-off banquet and worship service scheduled for October 2013, festivities such as concerts, children’s programs and other events will extend through October 2014 and will include the whole Hamilton-Wenham community.

Since the history of the town and the church are so closely connected, photos, news articles and other documents are being sought to help in the celebration.

Please contact Chairman and long-time Hamilton resident Linda Coonrod with any materials you are willing to share.

She can be reached at linda.coonrod@verizon.net or at 47 Lincoln Ave., South Hamilton.
