The New Era

Essex, Connecticut (First Church).

Christian Science Society, Essex, formally dedicated their church edifice on Prospect Street, on Sunday, June 29, 1947. Two services were held, one in the morning, and the other in the afternoon. At these services it was announced that the society had complied with all the necessary requirements and had been recognized by The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, as First Church of Christ, Scientist, Essex.

In November, 1944, a very small group started to hold Wednesday evening testimony meetings in private homes. By December they had outgrown these meeting places, and since there seemed to be a real need in the community, they voted to engage a public hall and hold Sunday services too.
