Were you part of the Congregational Church of Boothbay Harbor any time between 1942 and 1965? If so, we need your help on Thursday, Oct. 30 at 10:30 a.m.

In preparation for the 250th Anniversary of the Church (2016), the church is preparing an in-depth church history. John “Jack” Bauman is preparing Chapter 9: “1942-1965 — War, Peace and Rebuilding” and would love your feedback.

Jack will present his findings between 10:30 and 11 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall and will welcome your feedback and questions between 11 and 11:30 a.m. Coffee, tea and snacks will be served.

If you know of someone who should be invited, please let Debi Wood know in the Congregational Church office: 207-633-4757.

John F. Bauman is former professor of history at the University of Pittsburgh and visiting research professor at the Muskie School of Public Service at the University of Southern Maine.
