Simply Somersworth: A confession, Holy Trinity Church, and a thank you
Jenne Holmes
So I have to start this week s column with a confession. Last week when I took you through the history of the Greek Orthodox Church, I inadvertently said that the current Baptist Church on Cemetery Road was a Free Will Baptist when in fact it is the Free Baptist Church. So to anyone of the Baptist faith, I apologize and I promise to never make that mistake again.
So with my confession complete, I can now turn my full attention to Holy Trinity Church, which today we are familiar with on High Street, but it was not always so. In fact, for the first 107 years of its life, it could be found on the corner of Main and Walnut streets, where the Strafford Learning Center is located today.
