This new organ is made possible by an anonymous gift to the church. First Baptist, Attleboro has a member, David Blackman, who did the Aids Benefit Ride from Boston to New York in September. Trinity Church, Northborough, has a Jamaican Blue Barrel in its Fellowship Hall. First Baptist, West Springfield has been serving breakfast to teenagers each Wednesday for the past eleven years. It is an outreach ministry to the high school next to the church and they have had an average of 30-40 teens attending.
Church members prepare the breakfast and it is given free of charge.
In recent years, more Hispanic and Russian teens have been attending. At First Baptist, Cambridge, a member said she saw the lights on at the church at night. The church's newsletter then went on to explain why. It listed all the groups using the church at night and day, including ten Narcotics Anonymous groups, five Alcoholic Anonymous groups, another church, a women's healing group, a sewing club, a community supported agriculture group, music school lessons, anti-domestic violence group, a bible study group, two tango classes, Urban Myth Musical practice, nursery school, and yoga. International Community Church, Allston, has a theme for each month.
