...Dorothy Pomeroy, wife of the minister, dreamed of a special church for children – a church where everything would be run by children and everything would be designed for children. In 1937, her dream was realized in the Children’s Church at First Parish in Milton.
Pomeroy believed that children were bored by conventional Sunday schools. She encouraged the congregation to buy an old schoolhouse and converted it into a little chapel. Pomeroy then empowered children to begin leading their own services – doing everything from singing in the choir and playing the miniature pipe organ to reading the lessons and delivering short sermons.
The Children’s Church was an inspiration to church communities across the country and was featured on the cover of Life magazine in 1946. Today, the Children’s Church is still used by the youngest members of First Parish who gather for unique and lively worship services on the first Sunday of every month.
