Excerpt from The One Hundredth Anniversary of the Organization of the First Church of Christ in Manchester, Conn: Historical Addresses The first week in December, 1879, will be memorable in the annals of the First Church of Christ in Manchester as including the dedication of its new house of worship, the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the organization of the church, and the occupation of the new edifice for the first time for public worship on the Sabbath. The weather was delightful, with an average temperature of 50 degrees, and all things favored the assembling of large numbers from this and other places to participate in the exercises. At a meeting of the church held June 1, 1879, ft was voted to observe the one hundredth anniversary on the 29th of July, the date of its organization. For this purpose a committee was chosen consisting of the following persons, viz.: Rev. S. W. Robbins, Dea. R. R. Dimock, Dea. Francis Bidwell, Aaron Cook, George Bunce, E. A. Bliss, Ralph Cone, Chauncey B. Knox, Charles D. Parsons, James R. Pitkin, Dr. Oliver B. Taylor, Calvin L. Tracy, and Daniel Wadsworth. As a matter of convenience, it was afterwards decided to defer the public observance of the centennial anniversary till the new church edifice should be completed. Accordingly, at a later time, the dedication was appointed to take place on Wednesday afternoon, December 3d, and the centennial anniversary on Thursday morning and afternoon, December 4th. Order Of Exercises At The Dedication. I. Anthem: "Praise ye the mighty God" - by the choir under the direction of Mr. James Hutchison, Miss Mary W. Cone presiding at the organ.
