KENNEBUNKPORT — The First Church has three concerts coming up to be held in the church at 141 North St., Kennebunkport. Joyce Painter Rice is the church’s music director and organist.
“Old Fashioned Hymn Sing” will take place Oct. 23, and “First Church’s Christmas Concert & Carol Sing” will be held Dec. 11. All concerts take place at 2:30 p.m.
A capital campaign is underway to restore the church’s 1854 E. & G. G. Hook organ, originally built for South Congregational Church and given to First Church in 1916. The organ is a significant part of Kennebunkport history and it is in nearly original condition. First Church is actively soliciting community support for its restoration. Concerts are free, but contributions are welcome. Contributions are given by check may be made to First Congregational Church, (and on the memo line: “Organ Restoration Fund”).
For directions or more information, call the church office on Tuesdays at 967-3897 or email joyceorganist@aol.com.
