L. F. Reid read the church’s annual history, according to which:
- There were 787 members
- 8 members had died during the last year
- 11 members removed to other churches
Reid also reported on the benefits derived from the Sunday school and the Teachers’ Club
Reid also mentioned the baptismal font given by George L. Chase in memory of his daughter and the clock given my Julia Turner in memory of her father.
Elizabeth Burnell gave the annual report on the Sunday school:
The school had 682 members
This was a gain of 19 over the previous year.
Charles E. Thompson read a condensed statement of the annual report
Joseph Twichell conducted the devotional service.

The number of members the church lost to death or other churches equaled the number of new students who began attending the Sunday school.

L. F. Reid was the outgoing deacon.
Charles Thompson was the treasurer.
Elizabeth Burnell would later become the vice president of the Connecticut Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
