Submitted by First Church of Christ in Bedford

Reverend John Castricum, the new Pastor at First Church of Christ, Congregational, on Great Road will be formally installed at 3 pm on Sunday, October 6.
Leaders and delegates from the Metropolitan Boston Association will be at hand as well as clergy and friends from Bedford and beyond. Even though Pastor John is being installed, this is a service that celebrates the ministry of all people at First Church, Bedford.
It will be a wonderful day, where we celebrate God’s spirit calling a pastor to a church and look to many years of exciting ministry and mission. It is also a great opportunity to reconnect with other United Church of Christ churches in the area and beyond, and to “let our light shine.”
A reception will follow in Upper Fellowship Hall.
