New shop opens to support programs, build community

First Congregational Church has just opened Thrifts and Gifts, a shop featuring donated clothing and toys, as well as a series of handmade products from people in the congregation and friends and relatives. It is open Friday and Saturday from 10 am - 3 pm. 

“I think it’s amazing,” said Rev. Thandiwe Dale-Ferguson, pastor of the church, adding, “It’s not just about raising money, it is about building relationships and community!”
