The Epsom Public Library has received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to present “Dissent Among the Puritans” on Wednesday, November 6 at 7 PM given by Linda Palmer.

Ms. Palmer will reenact the character of Ann Vassall, wife of William Vassall of Essex, England, one of the founders of the Massachusetts Bay Company.  She will take you back to the year 1637 welcoming you to your new home in the bay.  Her words of advice and narration of events going on in town might make you wish you had stayed in England or you might look forward to New Hampshire as a place of settlement.  This living history program chronicles the dissent among fellow puritans after they reached Massachusetts, focusing on the anger directed at William Vassall, Ann’s husband, who was despised by minister and magistrate alike for his liberal ideas about civil liberty and religion.

Linda Palmer earned her MA in Teaching at Indiana University. Her fascination with the early settlers of New England resulted in a walking tour of the 17th century Boston called “Where Did the Puritans Go?” She has performed her Ann Vassall monologue at many Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire venues.

This program is free and open to the pubic.  Refreshments will be served.  For more information, contact the Epsom Public Library at 736-9220 or e-mail [email protected].

Wake Up Seniors And Citizens Before It’s Too Late.

The President took $716 Billion out of Medicare and put it into Obamacare. From what I have seen, heard, and read it appears to be the following:

• Restrict seniors’ access to care in order to cut costs
• Raises taxes on prescription drug makers
• Medicare Advantage plan will be cut
• Seniors will pay more

There will be no cataract surgery, hip replacements, knee replacements, physical rehab, preventive medicine, breast and cervical exams, help for congestive heart failure or strokes, many months to see a Dr. and live in excruciating pain. Why? We are too old. He wants us to hurry up and die.

Obama allowed four Americans to be killed. They pleaded for more security and Obama refused. Obama called these 4 deaths “not optimal.” (Precious lives discarded as though they were trash). Do you want to be next? It was more important for him to campaign in Las Vegas and be on talk shows. Our president lied to us about Libya and he is still lying.

Obama wants America to be a 3rd World Country. He wants us to live in filth and be equal to the poverty in India, Indonesia, and Africa, etc. He blames America for being a super power and for causing their poverty and he wants to bring America down to the level of extinction. He will bankrupt this country.

Are you going to let him do this to America? Save America. Vote Republican. We can’t have four more years of this. If you vote Obama back in, you will never see the America as it was and you’ll never see the American Dream because it will be nothing but a nightmare for us, our children and our grandchildren.

God Bless America,
Herbert Bartlett

Asking For Your Vote

I am asking for your vote when you go to the polls November 6. Among my main concerns: I will be standing for excellent educational opportunities for all; for residential property tax relief; for reproductive rights of women.

I will be standing against the libertarian, branded tea-partiers, so-called “free staters” who are trying to take over New Hampshire’s political process for their own selfishness. I will stand against the “Right To Work for Less.” I will stand against the State Legislature downshifting even more costs onto local property taxpayers.

I am asking for your vote. Thank you.

Nancy Heath

Epsom Central School Staff and Faculty

Epsom photo_Baxter_Kenneth copy.jpg

Mr. Kenneth Baxter, Middle School Math Teacher

Ken has taught for five years at ECS. He is often the first person to arrive at school and the last to leave. Ken is one of the two Math teachers for the 5th and 8th grades. When not actually in a classroom, Ken spends his time planning, studying, or working with kids one-on-one. Ken received a BA in Fine Arts at UMass Boston and an MS in Special Education at Boston State with a specialty in remedial math. After graduation, he taught for five years in Franklin, NH and for 16 years in Maine before coming to ECS.


His extracurricular activities include the Drama Club, Music Program, and running the Math-a-thon, a fundraising program that supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The program includes a math supplement for grades K-8 that students complete while raising funds for St. Jude.


Ken likes everything about ECS, particularly working with the students and staff. He finds the support from parents and administration exceptional; better than anyplace he’s taught. He would recommend to parents that they prioritize developing wisdom in their children, as well as character building and academic skills.


Ken lives in Epsom with his wife and two children. He enjoys riding his bike, playing golf, listening to music, and working on his home. Ken is a veteran of the Silent Service, having worked in sonar on both diesel and nuclear submarines. He would advise parents to spend as much time with their children as possible since they grow up quickly.




“Glorification Singers” To Celebrate Two Worship Services

At New Rye Church


The New Rye Church congregation is very blessed and honored to have the Glorification Singers with us for two worship services over the weekend of November 3rd and 4th.


The Saturday (11/3) service will begin at 7 pm at the church and will be conducted completely by the Singers. The Singers will then be the major portion of the Sunday morning worship services, which begin at 10 am (change your clocks – Daylight Savings ends that day!)


The Glorification Singers were born years ago when individual Christian musicians came together to “spread the Word of God through music.” The group, as it exists today, has been together since 1990. In a style reminiscent of the “Gaither Gospel Hour,” the Singers spread the good news of God’s love in four ways – the Word in scripture, testimony of what God has done in their lives, prayer (including prayer with individual members of the congregation if requested) and, of course, in song, including sing-alongs.
Both worship services will be held at New Rye Church, which is located at 289 New Rye Road in Epsom, and the public is cordially invited to attend. The Singers come to worship and minister, not to perform, so there is no admission charge. A love offering will be collected at each worship service, however, to support the continuing ministry of the Glorification Singers.

New Rye Church Celebrates Ladies Aid Appreciation Sunday

Epsom church_ladies_aid copy.jpg

New Rye Ladies Aid with Rev. Jim Young

 

On Sunday, October 21st, New Rye Church celebrated Ladies Aid Appreciation Sunday to thank and honor the Ladies Aid for their long and continuing service to the church and community.

 

When the current church building was erected in 1861, the Ladies Sewing Circle (renamed the Ladies Aid in 1909) purchased a stained glass window that still adorns the entry to the church and, most recently, the group donated four new windows for the parish hall.

 

During the many intervening years, this group has consistently raised money to contribute to the needs of the church and community. The New Rye Ladies Aid continues to make quilts that are distributed to children at the Shriners Children’s Hospital and holds a yearly raffle for a hand-made quilt, among other fund-raising projects..

 

The church expressed its gratitude in a special tribute during the worship service and a luncheon following the service. The church recognizes this wonderful group of women as a special gift, a sentiment that was expressed in the scripture placed on the cake dedicated to them – “They gave themselves first to the Lord and then through the will of God to us."

 

The New Rye Ladies Aid is open to all women in the community and welcomes newcomers and “drop-ins” as well! On the first and third Wednesday of the month, the group holds a social/craft gathering at New Rye Church at 11 am where women bring their own crafts (and lunch) to work on while enjoying the company of other craft-minded neighbors and friends. On the second Wednesday of the month, the Ladies Aid goes out for lunch to a local restaurant and on the fourth Wednesday, the monthly business meeting is held at the church at 11 am, after which the group has lunch (bring your own) and works on group craft projects/quilts.
