Whoever you are, wherever you may be on your journey…

Welcome to The First Church of Deerfield, cited by a visitor turned newcomer as “the most welcoming church I’ve ever been to!” Thank you for visiting our website. We do our best to reflect God’s inclusive vision for humanity and are proudly an Open and Affirming Congregation. We enjoy each other and our church, and look forward to welcoming you.

This Sunday, May 26, at 10 am
we will gather for worship
OUTDOORS
under the tent at PVMA*
(rain or shine)

**PVMA (red arrow) is a 2 minute drive from the Brick Church (red circle).

For many years, we have cancelled worship on Memorial Day weekend (aka, graduation weekend) due to our building’s proximity to Deerfield Academy. This year, thanks to help from our good neighbors at the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, we will gather! Join us for a refreshing family-friendly outdoor service, under the tent on the PVMA lawn. Chairs will be provided; wear shoes suitable for walking on grass.

LAST SUNDAY’S SERMON:

“In a multilingual world, you have a choice: you can demand that everyone else speak your language, or you can learn to speak theirs. The former has historically been the American Way; but as Pentecost reminds us, it is not the way of the Spirit.”

“Gained in Translation”
Pentecost Sunday, May 19, 2024
