Godspeed, Jim Burrell

God is still speaking!

First Church helps to furnish an apartment for a Haitian family coming out of shelter!

First Church has been nurturing a relationship with the Everett Haitian Community Center (EHCC) for the past number of years.

In November, First Church partnered with EHCC to provide Thanksgiving turkeys for more than 30 families.

On Christmas Eve, there was a flurry of activity during which a number of furniture donations were collected.

They included upholstered furniture, a beautiful Christmas tree with lights, a bed, mattress, box spring and sheets, as well as a TV and TV stand, some collected from church members and others through

Swampscott Free For All.

On Christmas Eve,

Rev. Myrlande DesRosiers of the EHCC came with 3 men and a U-Haul,

loaded up everything and delivered these items to the family

(a mom, a dad and a young child)

who now reside in Fall River, MA after residing in shelter for the past year!

Thanks be to God!
