After being in existence for 127 years, Immanuel United Methodist Church in Waltham held its final worship service on Sunday, June 28.

The service included the unearthing of a time capsule, and also a visit from Mayor Jeannette McCarthy, who reveals its contents. Approximately 40 current and former members, and friends, attended.

The building, according to the church’s Facebook page, will become Grace United Methodist Church beginning in July.

Message from its page: “Though we are sad to be leaving, we are glad to know the building will remain a United Methodist Church. We thank the Waltham community for its friendship and support. We are grateful for bonds we have made with many pastors and their families, people from other churches and the extended Immanuel family. Blessings and thank you to all. Let us not forget that Immanuel means GOD WITH US -- always. Amen!”
