Old First is Open: full schedule of Services and Activities

On September 28 2011, plaster suddenly fell from the ceiling of the sanctuary, which pointed to ongoing issues which must be addressed before we can use our space again. In the meantime, services are being held in our Sunday School hall. We are posting updates both here and Help Old First Facebook page.
