First Congregational Society In Gilmanton Old Home Day
Service
In conjunction with the Gilmanton Old Home Day Association, the
First Congregational Society in Gilmanton will hold its Old Home Day
service on Sunday, August 4, 2013, at 4:00 pm at the Smith Meeting
House on Meeting House Road in Gilmanton, NH.
The First Congregational Society is the oldest organized society in
the town of Gilmanton. Nestled in rows of maple trees with lush
green lawns and a flowering garden, the Smith Meeting House is
listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Old Home Day service is a long held tradition where we remember
those who have gone before us. The sermon for this nondenominational
service is always of interesting subject matter, and we encourage
those who have not visited us before to attend. After the service
we will serve refreshments in the meeting room downstairs which is
naturally air conditioned and there is plenty of parking.
The Reverend Sidney Lovett of Holderness, NH, will officiate and we
will have Harriet Coupal as our organist. For more information call
603-267-8151.

Gilmanton Parks And Recreation News

Swimming lessons, sponsored by the Gilmanton Parks and Recreation
Department, started on July 8 at Crystal Lake Park. They ran each
morning from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm for two weeks. During the second
week an afternoon session from 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm was offered on a
trial basis this year in an effort to accommodate more families. We
had 70 children from the ages of 5-12 participate. The swimmers were
taught how to control their breath, float, tread water, scull,
change positions while floating, the crawl with breathing, the
elementary backstroke and breaststroke, back crawl and sidestroke,
water safety, jumping and diving in deep water. Everyone had a great
time and All 70 Children Are Swimmers!
Even though our final day as rainy, it was spent playing some fun
water games with shaving cream, bubbles and a waterfall noodle
limbo. The swimmers were given certificates for their participation
and some yummy goodies were shared. A big thank you to all of the
parents and grandparents who made sure that their swimmers attended
each day and supported them with positive comments and cheers! Thank
you to the town for supporting this important program! Keep
practicing and I hope to see you all next summer!
