Bass Park overlooks the foot of Wilson Lake and the western Maine mountains making it an ideal location for worship. The theme of the service this year is “What Positive Things are Happening in Your Church” and everyone is invited to attend. There are a few picnic tables available but bringing chairs is encouraged.

Communion will be served.

Dryden Baptist, St. Luke’s Episcopal, Wilton Congregational and Wilton Methodist have held the combined service for years, usually at one of those churches. Two years ago no service was held because of the coronavirus pandemic and last year it was held at Bass Park to allow more space for social distancing.
