On Sunday, September 8, B-Free Church, 18 Boylston St, in Bradford will be hosting their 100-years of ministry celebration.  The event will feature special guest speakers at the 10:30 worship service: Superintendent Chris Hill and retired Reverend Bob Brest who pastored the First Free Methodist Church for over 30 years.  At 3:00 p.m., the public is invited to a free concert by the Misfits, a very entertaining bluegrass and southern gospel group.  A dessert fellowship with an ice cream sundae bar, pies, and cakes will follow the concert.

Back in 1924, the expanding First Free Methodist Church of Bradford, located originally at 32 Pleasant Street, laid the cornerstone for their new church building at 18 Boylston Street, and the downtown ministry has continued strong ever since.  A generous donation from the Sarah A. Hewitt estate provided most of the funding. The pastor at that time was Rev. L. J. Lindsey.

In 1970, the church doubled its size by adding a new addition including four Sunday School rooms, a pastor’s office, a fellowship hall, and a well-equipped kitchen.

In 2020, Jim Lenaway was named the Pastor.  Later that year, the members nicknamed the church B-Free to reflect the direction and purpose of the energized and outreaching ministry.

Hamilton-Gibson Productions is thrilled to announce its 35th Season, offering a rich array of shows, community engagement and educational programs. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Thomas Putnam, the Main Stage line-up has been planned featuring seven productions, plus additional regular seasonal offerings, special events, long-running activities for all ages and theater arts camps for kids. The 2025 season’s theme is igniting HG’s 35 birthday candles and holding them high to light the way into the future. 

In more recent years HG has expanded its line-up of Main Stage directors to include more community members who have gained experience at HG and other places, and who are able to take the helm. For 2025 seven different directors will take the lead on various projects. Putnam shares, “Those who are interested in directing may submit one or more titles they’d like to direct as part of our process for building a season. The titles that are submitted are not always chosen for the season, but there’s a certain strength and health if it works out for a director to direct a play about which they are passionate.”
