Hancock Church Invites Community to Celebrate a New Chapter

Hancock Church invites the Lexington community and friends from near and far to join in a joyful Re-Dedication Worship Service on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., celebrating the renovation of its Sanctuary and the beginning of a new chapter for the congregation.

The special worship service will be an opportunity to gather in gratitude and celebration, giving thanks for the many people who helped make the Sanctuary renovation possible.

“This is a moment we’ve been looking forward to celebrating together,” said Rev. Dr. Barbara L. Callaghan, Senior Minister. “We’re grateful for everyone who contributed to this renewal, and we’re excited to open our doors and welcome the community into this beautiful space.”

Following worship, guests are invited to stay for a festive reception and continue the celebration together.

All are welcome. Whether you are a longtime member of Hancock, a neighbor in the Lexington community, or simply looking for a welcoming place to worship and connect, Hancock Church hopes you will join in this special occasion.
