IMPORTANT: The capacity at the church service is limited due to covid (approximately 100 people). Parking directly behind the church is limited, but additional parking is available in the parking lot behind Grace Episcopal Church, just north on Main St. Please do not park in front of the church or on Maple Court, it is not legal parking. 

Because of the limited capacity in the church, there will be overflow seating and a live-stream showing at The Kate performing arts center in Old Saybrook (300 Main St, Old Saybrook). Parking is available both sides of Main Street. The Kate is airconditioned for those that need or prefer that. 

If you choose not to attend the service in person at either location,  the service will also be available as a live-stream through the church’s facebook account: https://m.facebook.com/firstchurchos/

Following the church service there will be a celebration of life at 9 Mohegan Ave in Fenwick. Parking is off-site, so please follow the signage. Neighbors are encouraged to walk. Along with on-site signage, maps will be provided at the church and The Kate regarding parking areas for the reception. We look forward to seeing you all there to share memories of Ellen. 

If you have any artwork of Ellen’s, please email a photograph of the piece to moll.patterson@gmail.com as we plan to catalog Ellen’s creative works. 

Covid-19 Protocols: Masks must be worn at all times at the church service and The Kate regardless of vaccination status or health issues. Masks are strongly encouraged at the reception following the service. Please respect social distancing and if you feel sick or potentially exposed, please do not attend.
