Candlelighting March 28, 2010

The Second Parish of Worcester has called 90 Main Street home since construction started in 1828. For the last 182 years we have survived two major fires and a hurricane. There have been additions and renovations to make it the building we worship in today.

I light this candle for all the men, women and children who have designed, built, repaired, renovated, maintained, scraped, patched, painted, adjusted, polished, cleaned, mopped, dusted, planted, fertilized, mowed, trimmed, cared for our many organs, changed light bulbs, answered security alarms, raised capital campaign funds, tried to understand the mysteries of water leaks and for those who worried whether our boiler would fire up on Sunday morning.
