Treasure Shop Open Wed. and Sat.
2026-05-23 09:00 - 2026-10-10 12:00 (America/New_York) | NH
The Treasure Shop is open this season on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. until October 12 at the Old Town Hall, 2695 Wakefield Road in Wakefield, NH. It is located in the historic village of Wakefield Corner which is also home to the Wakefield Library, and the Wakefield Inn, and the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ.
The Old Town Hall was built in 1837 and was used as the town hall until 1895 when the current town hall was built. The building was then leased to the Ladies Social Circle (now the Parish Helpers) of the First Congregational Church and it has been leased to them ever since. For many years it was used as a meeting place for the women’s group and for dinners, fairs, and events for the church and the town. In 1963, the Parish Helpers began having a Treasure Sale on Wednesday afternoons. Thus, the Treasure Shop came into existence. It has changed somewhat over the past 50+ years. They no longer sell clothing, and they don’t sell larger items, but they have just about everything else. You can find fine china and toys. Small appliances and yarn! There’s a large selection of used books, and there are curtains, jewelry, hardware and more! Something for everyone!
The Treasure Shop is the primary fundraiser for the Parish Helpers. From its beginning in 1857, the Parish Helpers has been contributing to the First Congregational Church which it calls home. Over the course of the last 160 years, the Parish Helpers has expanded its philanthropies and now donates to many other local and global charities as well.
Stop by this summer and see what treasures await you at the Treasure Shop! For more information about the First Congregational Church or the Parish Helpers, visit www.fccwakefieldnh.org or our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/FirstCongregationalChurchofWakefieldUCC/

Adult Faith Formation - Weekly on Tuesdays
2026-05-26 12:00 - 2026-08-04 13:00 | NH
Faith Formation classes meet regularly on Tuesdays at Noon – typically in the Parish Helpers Room. Our gatherings are hybrid – in-person at church with a Zoom option. Note that a decision may be made to do a Zoom-only class if weather is a concern.

Lenten Faith Formation

Please consider joining us as we walk through Lent using the devotional: Hymns of Easter A description follows:
The “Hymns of Easter” is a heart-warming devotional inspired by some of history’s most cherished Easter hymns. Experience a fresh perspective on the hymns you’ve sung your whole life now set to personal reflections in this 40-day devotional journey.
The hymns include the Hallelujah Chorus, Christ the Lord is Risen Today, He Lives, The Old Rugged Cross, Blessed Assurance, How Great Thou Art, and Amazing Grace. You’ll also discover intriguing stories and thought-provoking details like who wrote the hymn; what was going on in their life that perhaps inspired it; and how God has used this hymn throughout time to draw people closer to Him.
This study will start on February 17 (the day before Ash Wednesday). We meet every Tuesday at noon as a hybrid class (both in-person and on zoom). We will use the time to discuss the readings for that week, along with listening (and perhaps even singing!) the featured hymn for that week.
Our class will run for an hour (or so) and will be followed by a sharing of thoughts on the Still Speaking Lenten Devotional – Outgrow.
If you’re interested in joining us on this Lenten path, please reach out to Julie Kessler at 603-871-8066 or

The sessions are free and open to the public. Support and resource materials are available. No need to register. Just come. You do not have to be caring for a loved one at home. We know that care happens in many ways – up close and at a distance. Sessions are confidential.
