Church of the Kettles

Think about a morning boat ride to the church dock; a smiling face to greet you and lend a hand with ropes and bumpers; the musty scent of a century old building; sunshine illuminating an anxious chipmunk in the trees; the serenity of Christian worship with music. This is what represents the best of Sunday morning service at the Kettles!

This summer marks 125 years at the Kettles with our first service on Sunday July 5 at 10:30 AM. We have a fine schedule of ministers shown above, and several services planned with special music to complement Fran Hayter’s faithful piano. Come out to renew summer acquaintances in our little church in the wildwood!

The church and docks are ready for the season, and I would like to thank once again all those in the Kettles Association and Church for your continuing generous donations to the dock repair fund. Tax receipts are provided for this important purpose, without which our shared community would not thrive.

Please bring your family and friends to church, see you on the docks!
