Thanksgiving service at Reeds Mill

MADRID – Reeds Mill Church will hold a special worship service at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 24.

The Rev. David W. Smith, pastor of the Wilton Congregational Church, will lead the worship.

Reeds Mill Church, otherwise known as “The Church in the WildWood” remains as it was when built — a one-room rural church situated down a dirt road 5 miles off Route 4. Original kerosene lamps light the sanctuary, as there is no electricity. A wood stove with one of the longest stovepipes in the county keeps the congregation warm, as the church has no furnace.
