In keeping with our objective to provide diverse times and styles, this new service will meet on Saturday evenings at 5pm.  The services will include multiple formats, seating arrangements, and styles of music.  This style of service is sometimes referred to as a”Convergent” service.   We hope that it will relieve crowded conditions in Kingston, welcome individuals for whom Sunday services are not possible, and reach out to new friends with the love of Jesus Christ.   The Saturday service will feature the same sermon, be supported by the same Diaconate Spiritual Guidance Team, and provide all of the same ministry opportunities that exist in Kingston.   Andrew Gaydos will coordinate the music.  Consider trying this service as an alternative to or in addition to the Kingston services.   We are seeking some current worshipers who might be “faith seeds” for this new worship service by making a short commitment to attending on Saturday evenings.  This was an initial help to us when we started our contemporary service several years ago in Kingston.    If you are interested please let us know:  email Julie@kingstonfcc.org, call 603-642-7256, or hand your name to any church staff member.

Return to Top At a special meeting called by the Space Planning and Building Committee on Sunday, July 17th, it was unanimously voted by the church membership to accept the plans as presented by the Committee and begin construction on the addition to the Kingston Meeting House ASAP.  The first thing to be done was to have a hazardous material inspection and removal of same as necessary.  Shortly after, the Rent Room, kitchen, bathrooms, and offices were removed as seen in this picture. Click here for more pictures of the construction progress. In July, 2011, a team of seven members from KFCC traveled to Pennsylvania to assist with the construction of a new house.  Our team and a team from another church completely pre-fabricated all of the framing for the house in seven days.  The frame sections were loaded onto a trailer for transportation to the construction site.  Another team will assemble the house on the foundation.  This house replaces one that was destroyed by fire.  Some photos of the construction project are available by following this link. In April 2011, Mark Connelly started recording a series of scripture readings accompanied by his own background music.  His work has been well received and his artistic approach enhances our worship services.  Mark has graciously posted them online for everyone to enjoy.  To experience these worshipful meditations for yourself, you may access them by following this link.
