First Church History & Potluck

First Church in Jamaica Plain

6 Eliot St.

January 29, 2012

5-8 PM

Jamaica and West Roxbury were synonymous until the creation of a new parish church on the “Pond Plain in Jamaica” within the colonial town of Roxbury.  Over the course of its history, Jamaica Plain was the Third Parish of Roxbury, then the downtown area of the Town of West Roxbury, and is now a neighborhood of the City of Boston and a postal district.  For seventy years, First Church was the only church in Jamaica Plain.

Find out more about the how Jamaica Plain and the First Church developed together this Sunday, when Jamaica Plain Forum hosts an evening of local history, great conversation, and tasty soup!

First Church historian George Wardle will present artifacts from the church’s archives and answer all your questions.

Following the talk, simple bread and soup potluck will be shared.  Please bring two cans of vegetables or non-dairy vegetable soup to be mixed in the soup pot or breads, crackers, cheese, or fruits to accompany the soup. Coffee and water will be provided.  (Any extra cans of vegetables will go to the Church Food Pantry which provides for those in need.)
