HISTORIC 1835 SERVICE A SUCCESS

A special thanks to  everyone who made the historic 1835 service for the 175^th Anniversary Kick-Off such a wonderful experience last Sunday.  Even though the weather was not the best, the attendance was great and it was special to have so many of our Fifty Year Members with us.  Arrangements are being made to reach those who could not attend.  If you're interested in a video copy ($10 each) or a program of the service, please contact the church office.
