Maggie's Farm

As Sippican might say, "There is no Second Congregational Church." No, there isn't. Not yet, anyway.

I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the Rev. Norman Koop on the steps of the First Congregational Church of Woodstock, on Sunday morning. I had heard many good things about him and his congregation (including the Dartmouth folks who cross the river to attend), and had listened to some of his sermons online.

You can listen to his some of his preaching at Sermon Audio.

Here is the church's Statement of Faith. Yes, it is what I call a "strong dose" church in what polls say is the least religious state in the USA.

I have no time for weak dose churches. I like that old-time religion: The living Jesus and the living Word: straight up, no ice. As a sinner, Christ is what I need.

Glad to have met ya, Reverend.
