Flowers on the altar and the steeple at First Church will be illuminated from April 6 to 13, 2025, in memory and honor of Scott Healey. Scott was a guiding light to his loving family, friends, and the congregation of First Church in Pembroke. His memory remains forever in our hearts, continually guiding and leading us through life s journey. First Church was blessed to have Scott as a part of our church family. He will always be in our hearts and will never be forgotten.
Please note that we will not hold fellowship on Easter Sunday, as we want to ensure everyone can spend the day with their families.
