The Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion in Fair Haven will be celebrating its 125th anniversary on October 24.
However, after celebrating that milestone, the church will be closing its doors and the property will be placed on the market.
The closing is largely due to increased competition amongst the nine Episcopal churches in the immediate area.
“This has been a mission church and the mission is completed,” Reverend Nancy Hite Speck said.
Sad. One could read the article as suggesting the primary reason the parish considered becoming a day center was for the “influx of funds.” Funny notion of “mission.”
‘”This has been a mission church and the mission is completed,’ Reverend Nancy Hite Speck said.”
She cannot possibly be serious?! Maybe I’m misreading this, but until every knee bows down and every tongue confesses Jesus as Lord, the mission is not complete.
