TAUNTON — An Easton is gearing as much as open a group heart in downtown Taunton that may embrace a espresso bar and lounge with a “front room environment,” a ice cream walk-up window, a roof patio deck and a youth heart.

“We need to be in a spot that fosters a group of all types,” stated the Rev. David Stratton, pastor at New Hope Christian Chapel in South Easton.

Stratton stated church leaders plan to open the group heart, known as “The Middle on Foremost,” within the former Forman’s Bridal Division retailer in downtown Taunton.

Stratton’s spouse Michelle Stratton stated The Middle on Foremost would fulfill the church’s objective of “going out into the group to make a distinction.”
