HARPSWELL — A vesper service will be held on Sunday, Dec. 9, at 2 p.m. at the historic East Harpswell Baptist Church, 308 Cundy’s Harbor Road, on Great Island.
The familiar carols will once again ring in the Christmas season accompanied by organist Janice Stover and the Island Choirs. The Rev. Geoff Parker will deliver a Christmas message.
For the service, the church will be lighted by the original oil lamps of the 1840s structure.
The historic East Harpswell Baptist Church was maintained over many years by the Sebascodegan Garden Club. Period faux grain panels and old graffiti have been preserved. In 2008 the deed for the property was transferred from the church trustees to the Harpswell Historical Society whose president, David Hackett, will be taking part in this service.
The church is full accessible. For more information, call 729-9755.
