From Boston and points North:
- From 93 S take Rt. 24 S toward Fall River (if you're coming
via Rt. 128, make sure to pass the exit for 95 S – Rt. 24
is about 3 miles east.
- At Fall River, watch signs & make sure to follow sign for
Rt. 24 S (you actually travel on Rt. 195 W for 1/2 mile in order
to continue onto Rt. 24; make sure to stay in the right lane while
on 195).
- After crossing the Sakonnet Bridge onto Aquidneck Island, take
the third exit. It is marked Exit 1: "Rt. 138 - Middletown,
Newport Beaches." After ramp, bear to your right under overpass.
- After 1/2 mile, make a right at lights onto Rt. 138 S
- Travel about 6 miles, then turn left onto Rt. 138A S (sign
will say "Newport Beaches"). Rt. 138A is also called
Aquidneck Ave.
- You'll be on Rt. 138A for about 2 miles until it comes to a
"T"; make a left at this light.
After about 1/4 mile you'll be at the beach. Go through the lights
and drive along beach (on your left side). As you leave the beach
and head uphill, the street becomes Memorial Blvd. Cross through
the major intersection with lights (Bellevue Ave.).
- As you head downhill, you will cross one more intersection
with lights (Spring St.). Immediately after, get into the left
turning lane and turn left onto Thames St.
- After about 3 very short blocks, pull into the second parking
lot you see on your left, immediately preceding the church (corner
of Thames & Brewer Sts.). This is our lot, but we lease it
out. If it is being manned, make sure to tell the attendant you're
attending church so you won't be charged.
