�OUR C H U R C H
T h e T o w n of Farmington, formerly the Northwest Parish of Rochester, was incorporated Dec. 1 , 1798.
I n 1819, September 15, the F i r s t Congrega-
tional C h u r c h was organized by the Rev. James Walker, under the auspices of the
New Hampshire Missionary Society, with a membership of eight persons, three
men and five women, namely: Benjamin Furber, Peter Akerman, Noah H o m e ,
Mehitable Hayes, Mary Furber, Mary Furber (Captain Samuel Furber's wife),
Mehitable Furber, E l i z a b e t h Roberts.
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin F u r b e r and Noah
Horne were received by letter from the church in Rochester, and Mehitable Hayes
had been a member of the Lebanon church.
Religious services had been held by
both Free Baptist and Congregational people, i n the tovm, prior to 1819,
the present so-called " F i r s t " church dates to that year, previous
not having been permanent.
but
organizations
O n the date named a discourse was given from L u k e
12:32, and the ordinance of the Lord's supper was observed.
T h e church remem-
bers with grateful appreciation the labors of men and women, pastors and laymen,
whose devotion to the interests of the organization ceased only with their visible
lives, and the people hold also in tender remembrance
the self-sacrifice
and
faithful love of the living to whom so much is owed for like reasons.

a B . Oarleton,
Christmas ha* everything—hasn't it?
Christmas holds tightly many happy memories, is
loaded with joy and good cheer right now, and pierces
uncertainties of the future with the bright twinkle of
hope.
Christmas lifts yon out of your ordinary self and
pushes you up into being a person far nicer than you
u
have thought you were.
*L
Christmas opens up friendships more numerous,
more delightful and more heart-warming than you knew
you had.
Christmas appeals to allfiveof your senses. Is there
any sight lovelier than gaily wrapped gifts, multicolored
candles, shiny holly and decorations on a Christmas
tree? Isn't mere contentment in the fragrant smell of fir
balsam in the living room and of spicy odors in die
kitchen? Wouldn't the days seem empty without hear
ing again the universally-loved carols and the laughter
of happy children? Isn't self-control overstrained by the
taste of festive, tempting foods? And don't we respond
to the invigorating touch of the sweet air outdoors and
die welcome warmth of home and family within ?

An account of the resource
Farmington Public Library- A history from its beginning to in 1890 until 1935. This account is from the Farmington News, Page 4, December 12, 1952. Written by Ethel B Nason, longtime librarian. The account covers how the library was formed, who formed it, the first books it held, how it was managed, and how it was designed. Also included are details of incorporation in October of 1891, work of librarians and volunteers, further donations, fundraising over the years, and celebrations and attractions. Additional accounts include the fire that destroyed the Opera House building and the library within. Ending accounts include the fundraising for the new library, donation of the Goodwin library land, and construction of the new library building, and finally the opening of the new library in May of 1929.

The First Congregational Church, UCC
of Farmington, New Hampshire
Celebrating 200 Years of Christian Service
1819-2019
�The Lancet Sanctuary Windows
The Cross and Crown
The Anchor Cross
The unity of design of the church's Gothic Revival architecture
is reflected in the eight lancet stained glass windows in the
sanctuary. Four of the windows are with foliage patterns only.
The other four windows have distinctive Christian emblems in
round colored circles called "roundels". Each one measures 90
inches by 30 inches, perhaps in homage to sacred geometry.
�The Grisaille Stained Glass Windows
The First Congregational Church was built in 1875 with seating
for 350 people. During the day, the sanctuary is illuminated with
the natural light of eight stained glass windows on the walls, four
triangular roof windows and a prominent arched window above
the main entrance. The windows have unique "grisaille" foliage
patterns stenciled onto diagonal pieces of glass. Vitreous paint
is used and fired to adhere the image permanently to the glass.
This 14'^^ century technique was made popular in New England
by Samuel West of Boston following the Civil War.
The Archangel Window
This impressive window is high above the sanctuary, over the
main entrance to the church. It is the largest of all the grisaille
windows measuring nine feet at the base and five feet high to
the apex of the arch. This unique three-part Gothic design has
two lower triangular leaded windows. They support the diamond
shaped window depicting the hand drawn angel with crossed
arms and shaded wings.
�Preserving The Stained Glass Windows of
Historic First Congregational Church
The First Congregational Church is listed on New Hampshire's
Register of Historic Places and will soon be recognized on the
National Register of Historic Places as an outstanding example
of Gothic Revival architecture and for its collection of 17 grisaille
stained glass windows valued at $196,000.
In 1976, the congregation began preserving the glass windows
by placing a clear plastic protective window over each one.
After years of weathering, the plastic windows have faded. The
full beauty of these historic windows cannot be completely seen
or appreciated until the natural light shines through them.
You Can Participate in Preserving l-iistory
We are working with the Willet Hauser Architectural Glass
Studio of Winona, Minnesota who installed the original plastic
coverings in 1976. Their craftsmen have over six decades of
experience in stained glass restoration. The cost of replacing
the protective plastic windows is $40,000. We are applying for
a $20,000 matching grant. The church is accepting donations
to raise the remaining $20,000 to begin the project.
Your support will be greatly valued as we restore and protect
this national treasure for the enjoyment of generations to come.
Please send your tax-deductible donation to:

<p><em>The fifth annual Hay Day celebration drew a record crowd of four to five thousand. The festivities were plentiful along with the food. Betty Mros announced another record breaker of fifty-five booths and concession stands. Everyone seemed to have an enjoyable day, and I'm sure next year's Hay Day is already highly anticipated.
