Church Dedications

Note: Christian Science churches are dedicated only when free from debt.

Westport, Connecticut (First Church).

Dedicatory services at First Church of Christ, Scientist, Westport, were held on Sunday, January 8, 1950, in the morning and in the afternoon. The history of the church was read at each service.

In 1943 a group of Christian Scientists in Westport held their first Sunday service on July 4 and their first Wednesday evening meeting on July 7 at the Westport Inn. A Sunday School and a Reading Room were established at this time. [Later in the year they were recognized as a Christian Science Society, a branch of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts.] The Reading Room later moved to Church Lane, where it is now located. The society became First Church of Christ, Scientist, Westport, in 1947.
