Happy Birthday to Sharon Wescomb on March 22 and to Sean Menard and
Keith Davison, Sr. on March 26.
March 23 and 24 is Maple Weekend in New Hampshire. This is a time to
visit a sugar house near you and find out how maple syrup and other
maple products are made. You could also purchase maple products to
take home and enjoy. There are several maple sugar operations in the
area, so you won’t have far to travel. It’s a good family activity.
Save the date! On Thursday, April 18, Steve Taylor will be returning
to Chichester to present a program on One Room Schools. The program
begins at 7 p.m. in the Grange/Town Hall and is jointly sponsored by
the Chichester Historical Society and the Chichester Heritage
Commission through a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities
Council. The program is free and open to all. There is ample parking
and handicapped accessibility. Refreshments will be served following
the program.
There Is A New Church In Chichester
A new church has popped up on Dover Road, in the Chichester Commons.
According to the pastor, after much prayer and seeking the will of
God, this past summer a few friends from a couple different towns
began to meet together in a house in Epsom for Sunday worship.
After several months, they began looking for a rental space that
would house the new church. Subsequently, vacancies were noticed at
the Chichester Commons. Prayer about putting a church there was
brought before the Lord. As the Lord would have it, there was a
small store front that fit the needs of the church and so Berean
Bible Church was planted.
The pastor of Berean Bible Church is Tim Kenny. He has been married
to Joy for the past 24 years and they have four children. He is a
seminary trained minister through The Master’s Seminary of Sun
Valley California. He and his family came to live in Chichester via
Epsom where he was pastor for a short time at Epsom Bible Church.
Prior to Epsom, Pastor Tim ministered in Arena, Wisconsin for seven
years in an independent Bible church.
The Berean Bible Church is located in #3 on 114 Dover Road. It is an
independent Bible Church that preaches the whole counsel of God
through the preaching and teaching of the Bible. Sunday service is
at 10:30 a.m. If you don’t have a home church or you are first time
church visitor, why don’t you pay them a visit some Sunday.
