This year the Fourth will be a busy day for sure! In addition to the bell ringing at 2:50 PM at South Congregational Church, South Congregational Church Braintree is part of this celebration with Pastor Scott doing his part, our historian reading a portion of the Declaration, and the playing of taps.

Patrick Leonard of the American Legion again has outdone himself with this program. This will be one to bring your family to to create a memory that will last for decades.

See you there! 10:00 AM Saturday July 4th.
