Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This commemorative volume chronicles two hundred and fifty years of Woburn's religious history, specifically the story of its First Congregational Church and its integral role in the town's founding. It begins with the band of seven who left the Charlestown mother church in search of spiritual freedom, a quest that led them to gather in the wilderness in August of 1642. The history progresses through two and a half centuries, capturing the growth and development of the church amidst the changing landscape of Woburn. Through wars, westward expansion, industrialization, and technological advancements, Woburn's First Congregational Church adapted to minister to the evolving needs of its congregation. The insights provided by this book are not confined to the history of this one church. Woven into the narrative are the broader themes of religious freedom, the settling of the American wilderness, and the part that faith played in the fabric of everyday life.
