The “pride and joy” of our congregation is our historic 1882 Hilbourne Roosevelt organ. Well-maintained and restored, this beauty in the organ loft brings a smile to every face. Our chancel choir sings each week (generally from September through May) and is always eager to welcome new voices. We welcome and appreciate all who desire to share their gift of music and regularly feature guest musicians and vocalists from within our congregation as well as the wider community. A highlight of the year is the community sing of Handel’s Messiah which we host each November in conjunction with Berkshire Bach.

Church Choir meets Thursdays at 5:00pm downstairs in the Music Room. All are welcome, come as you are!

This group has evolved over the years, but one thing has remained constant: its mission to aid the congregation and wider community through its physical and financial support. The guild runs a popular “luncheon” and bake sale (come early; it sells out!) during these events. Proceeds from these and other fundraisers are used by the guild to financially support special needs of the church and provide funds to a number of area programs that benefit children and families in the community.

This committee organizes various collections and other activities throughout the year to respond to needs in the wider community. Each year we provide holiday meals for families in need in the Berkshire Hills School District, buy gifts for families at the Elizabeth Freeman Center as well as both ongoing and periodic support for our local food pantries, veterans programs, seniors and many more.

Bible Study is held every Sunday at 9:15am, except the first Sunday of the month.

We are holding an Interfaith Bible Study on July 10th and August 21st.

Our beautiful grounds and gardens are maintained by a dedicated team of volunteers. Individuals interested in participating can contact the church office to be put in touch with our Gardening Coordinator for an orientation.
