From Connecticut-
The Rev. Kerith Harding, assistant rector of Westport’s Christ & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, called it “a spirit led thing”—the unveiling of the church’s new Great Hall addition today.
Her comments seemed appropriate since it was Pentecost Sunday, the day Christians believe the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles.
Throughout the morning service, a spirit of optimism and looking forward filled the packed church was as the congregation celebrated “New Foundations in Faith,” the fulfillment of the seven years of planning for the new hall.
“My vision is that we we will continue to grow in the new spaces, and that they will be as warm as they have been in this church,” said the Rev. John H. Branson, rector, from the pulpit.
In many ways, the liturgical service marked new beginnings for the 147-year-old church. The pipe organ played for the first time today after more than a year of silence.
