EAST HAMPSTEAD – The East Hampstead Union Church is delighted to report that is has contracted with Southgate Steeplejacks of Barre, Vermont, to rebuild its steeple and raise its bell once more. The new steeple will be a nearly exact replica of the original built in 1897 and is scheduled to be installed before the end of this year. While the original steeple was removed in 2004 due to structural damage sustained over time, it stood for over 105 years as a landmark in the community. Their goal is to raise the remaining $10,000 necessary to complete the project.
If you would like to make a donation to the Steeple Fund in honor or in memory of a loved one, please mail to: East Hampstead Union Church, P.O. Box 109, East Hampstead, NH 03826. Honorariums and memorials are due September 20 and will be listed in the church bulletin on Sun., October 4.
The church is an inter-denominational Christian fellowship located at 225 East Main Street, Route 121A, just 1/4 mile south of Route 111. Summer services are Sundays at 9:30 a.m., June through August, and all are welcome. For more information, call the Church Office at 603-378-0683 or e-mail: ehuc@comcast.net
