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: First Congregational Church Stain Glass Project 400 Main Street Farmington, NH 03835 Thank you for your interest and generous contribution. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. - F r o m the Second Manual - OUR MINISTERS 1819-1826 James W a l k e r 1893-1898 Sam H .

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 ? a m o t o e a t e A t n towni n a t o l 0 t u p o n t o t h a t a p c h . . . your house didn't burn down! 1 1 1 M r n D » •t»h• »e niii-.fion Aomrdinsry favorably received a n d t h e ~Berry, librarian.
