It remains open to the public due the care of generous volunteers and community members. The church has been painted, new shingles put on and the whole interior repainted. Christmas parties for the whole town take place each year. Regular services were held there as well as a children's church for a few years. When Waukeag Point was still part of the Town of Sullivan, the church was known as the Sullivan Point Union Meeting House. It had been in existence since at least 1859, when a record indicating Lyman M. Bragdon et al as the Building Committee deeded a pew to John White and Jonathan White in November of that year. There are some references to it as the Union Church of that area during that time. Years later, W.H. Lawrence began developing the area and purchased the original pews from the church in 1895, as it had fallen out of use. In the 1930s, the community raised funds to bring the church back into use, and it was renovated in 1935. Through 1946 at least, it hosted a regular congregation numbering anywhere from 15 to 55 people and had an active Sunday School. Upkeep and maintenance were done entirely by the community. Membership waxed and waned, and it was used by the United Methodist Church in the 1950s and 1960s. It was during this time that Rev. Margaret Henrichsen was assigned to the area by the Methodists and the Community Church was among her circuit of Sunday stops she highlighted in her book Seven Steeples. The Hale family had long been involved with the church, with Lillian Hale spearheading the revival effort in the 1930s. In the 1980s another reclamation effort was made thanks to a generous donation from a local family, and Michael Parker was hired to restore the interior. From Lelia Clark Johnson’s book Sullivan and Sorrento since 1760, we know the builders of the church to be: Benjamin Preble, b.1798 Lyman Bragdon, 1811-1901 Oliver Bragdon, 1826-1919 Newell Bragdon, 1817-1891 Fabins Downing, 1793-1884 Richard Downing Samuels Ingalls (deacon), 1800- Willard Hall, 1821- Jonathan White, 1821- John Stover, 1825- Asa White, 1800- Nathan White, 1806- The Census of 1860 has the above men and their families in the same 3 pages, living nearby, so it makes sense that it would have been built in the late 1850s. Lydia (Arey) Bragdon, wife of Oliver, donated a handsome Bible for use in the church, which was rediscovered by community members in the building. Johnson’s book also mentions that a hymnal was dedicated to the Sorrento Community Church in honor of its builders and old resident families. First Families of Waukeag Neck (Sorrento): Benjamin Ash, James Bean, John Bean, Ebenezer Bragdon, Joseph Bragdon, Richard Downing, Samuels Ingalls, William Ingalls, Moses Bragdon, John Hammond, John Preble, Nathanial Preble, Samuel Preble, Daniel Sullivan, Jabez Simpson, John Urann, John White, Benjamin Welch. “They rest their labors, but their works do follow them.”

OUR TOWN & RESOURCES >> LIBRARIES Sorrento Public Library Corporation The Sorrento Public Library was built over 122 years ago, in 1893. It is an architecturally distinguished colonial revival building that has virtually always been at the heart of summer community life. In 1995 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and around that time it was officially separated from the Sorrento Village Improvement Association (SVIA) to become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization operating as Sorrento Public Library Corp. Operating Hours For more information about hours of operation or Library availability please contact the Sorrento Public Library directly at: Sorrento.Public.Library@gmail.com Fundraising We are in the process of gradually restoring individual parts of the Library. Whether you are helping to replace a shingle or paint a pillar, your tax-deductible contributions are critical to the overall health of the Library. No donation is too small. BEWARE of Internet Scams Currently, the Library can only accept donations in the form of a check made out to the Sorrento Public Library Corporation, mailed to the address below OR via an online donation made through the official Sorrento VIA website drop-down box. The SPLC does not have an independent website and there are no other organizations that accept donations on our behalf. Please beware of any online offers to solicit funds for the Sorrento Public Library other than through this or the official Sorrentovia.org website. Sadly, we have discovered that there are unofficial sites claiming to collect money on behalf of our Library, who ultimately do not forward collected donations along to us.

This moth is an insect of both forest and human health concern. The browntail moth caterpillar has tiny poisonous hairs that cause dermatitis similar to poison ivy on sensitive individuals. People may develop dermatitis from direct contact with the caterpillar or indirectly from contact with airborne hairs. The hairs become airborne from either being dislodged from the living or dead caterpillar or they come from cast skins with the caterpillar molts. Most people affected by the hairs develop a localized rash that will last for a few hours up to several days but on some sensitive individuals the rash can be severe and last for several weeks. The rash results from both a chemical reaction to a toxin in the hairs and a physical irritation as the barbed hairs become embedded in the skin. Respiratory distress from inhaling the hairs can be serious. Caterpillars are active from April to late June. Hairs remain toxic throughout the summer but get washed into the soil and are less of a problem over time.

Residents of this lush, wooded state should always be careful when spending time outdoors. Ticks are not only found in the wild but can be found in homes, on clothing, on family pets, on horses, or on local walking trails. Always perform a tick check on yourself, loved ones and pets to spot any ticks that may have latched on after spending any amount of time outdoors. Early detection and removal is essential to preventing an infection. What Kind of Ticks are in Maine? There are fifteen different types of ticks in Maine.The three most common types of ticks found in Maine are the American Dog Tick, the Blacklegged (Deer) Tick, and the Woodchuck / Groundhog Tick. For more information: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/epi/vector-borne/train-trainer/Companion.pdf Wild Parsnip Wild, or poisonous, parsnip is an invasive plant that grows abundantly along roadsides and in open fields throughout Maine. The foliage resembles celery leaves, but its umbels of small yellow flowers distinguish it from other plants. You should never eat wild parsnip and you should never touch it with bare hands because it could cause a painful skin reaction. It contains the toxin furanocoumarins, which can cause severe skin burns and blisters. This action is particularly true when the plants are exposed to sunlight. https://www.maine.gov/dacf/mnap/features/invasive_plants/pastinaca_sativa.pdf
