Fun at the Beach for Southport Congregational Church Families!

A gathering of children of all ages was a huge hit for the members of our church as they gathered for a picnic on the beautiful beaches of Fairfield. Picnic baskets filled with goodies, children carrying shovels and buckets, adults laughing and sharing stories were the images of the evening, which ended with a large bonfire and some very splendid singing! A great time was had by all!

Blessing of the Fleet a true American Event

Southport Congregational Church is proud to be active participants in the annual Southport Parade and Blessing of the Fleet! This year, Rev. Paul Whitmore, Rev. Sharon Blackburn and Rev. Laura Whitmore all participated along with other Southport Clergy. The Welcoming Committee provided a fabulous strawberry shortcake tent and handed out free treats to the crowd! It was a beautiful day and many of our parishoners sailed through the harbor and received their blessings for the season!

Youth Mission Trip to Maine a HUGE Success!

12 youth were joined by Rev. Laura Whitmore and Chris Palmer as they headed off to Orland, Maine to work with the H.O.M.E. Co-Op (Homemakers Organized for More Employment). With open hearts and willing hands, they detailed a Chapel, rebuilt a porch, painted 2 rooms in a homeless shelter, landscaped the homeless shelter, scrubbed clean a bathroom, washed woodwork, detailed a kitchen and organized the hundreds of donations we brought with us. The next day found us at the “Farm” of Sister Lucy Poulin where we dug 52 post holes for new fences, painted miles of fencing, removed a HUGE boulder, cleaned up junk piles, cared for horses, and tore down old fencing. Don’t worry, there was also a lot of fun - shopping in Bar Harbor, a trip to Cadillac Mountain, a Whale Watch, a lobster dinner and the all-time favorite, Timber Tina’s Maine Lumberjack Show!

Youth Group Creates Gardens at Emerge

Recently, a group of young people travelled to the new home of Emerge (a home for abused women and their children) to do a little landscaping and to plant some new gardens. Thanks to Chris Palmer of Outdoor Design we were able to accomplish this renovation in good time and despite the rain!
