Holiday show offered to area youth groups
from The Milford Daily News News RSSWe're certainly very optimistic the church can grow
After being without a place to hold services for nearly two years, the Anglican Church of the Redeemer has found a place to call home and will dedicate it Sunday.
The congregation moved into 31 Hayward St. earlier this month after holding services at Franklin High School every Sunday. A consecration by Bishop William Murdoch of the Anglican Diocese in New England, and citations from state Rep. James Vallee, D-Franklin, will officially recognize the space as a church at tomorrow's dedication ceremony.
"This is a much more permanent space for us," said the Rev. Jack Potter. "We're excited about it.Read the full article in the Milford Daily News here

Thanks for the art and music
As Thanksgiving Day dawns, kitchens will fill with sweet smelling foods, families and friends will gather for diner and conversation. Let's give thanks for the art and artists amongst us.
Last Thursday was another Third Thursday celebration by the Franklin Downtown Partnership. Emma's Quilt Cupboard took the lead this time. It was time to showcase the talents of some men with sewing skills.
Leon Leon Guerrero did this forest theme quilt.
Look closely at the dark border and you'll see the white thread stitched to pick up the canoe paddle pattern.
Dana Ryan did this quilt to tell the story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Note the detail stitching to show a topographical pattern like a map.
Note the color and shape arrangements
Over at Jane's Frames, another kind of art, amongst the works framed and to be framed, Kai Olsson played guitar and sang
Sitting amongst the backsides of some art, he played frontman very well!
There won't be a Third Thursday in December but there will be a Holiday Stroll. Thursday, December 3rd from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. From Dean College throughout the downtown area, there will be plenty to do for all members of the family.
