Ethel Graham, the charismatic founder and current pastor of New Gethsemane began the parish on a calling from God, she says. A Middletown resident and mother of five children, she said the Lord told her to go open a church in Meriden. In 198,9 she opened a tiny one-room place of worship on Colony Street. The church has long outgrown its first location, but remained on the street, now inhabiting a former Catholic Family Services facility -- a two-building complex with the chapel tucked behind a large, white meeting house. These days, the ministry reaches out to the community in the traditional form of charity work, but also has a prison ministry, a radio show on WSGG from 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, and a Meriden public access television show called the Total Touch from 5-6 p.m. Thursday.
For more than nine years, Faith Tabernacle Ministries has been offering Christian religious services such as Sunday School, Bible Study, prayer and worship. It is led By Pastor Susan Hogan and Minister Fred Hogan.
