A Community Good Friday Service, Friday April 3 

Organized by Farmington Area Ecumenical Ministry

Please join us for a Good Friday service at Henderson Memorial Baptist Church (110 Academy St in Farmington) at noon.

For those who wish to join in, there will be an ecumenical prayer walk in downtown Farmington immediately after the service. This is based on the medieval tradition of the stations of the Cross, from the condemnation of Jesus to his burial. The walk will start at Henderson Memorial and proceed downtown to end at the Gazebo on Main Street. The service and walk combined are expected to last 1 hour.

Easter Sunrise service will be in Wilton at the corner of Colby Miller Rd and Orchard Drive at 6 AM.

The Service of Compassion and Hope for those for whom the Christmas season can be a difficult time. The service is generally held at Fairbanks Union Church, 583 Fairbanks Road, Farmington a week or so before Christmas, and includes candle lighting, special music, and prayer.
