Morning Worship, 10:30 am

Annie Epling — Thu, 24 May 2012 14:33:16 +0000

This Sunday worship will be at the Old Meeting House. It is Pentecost, the day we celebrate the birthday of the church! Come and celebrate everything this church has done in the past year. Wear red! The annual meeting of the congregation will take place immediately following worship.

If you have not been to the Old Meeting House before, our old stone church is on Geyer Road about 1/2 mile south of Clayton Road. Parking is available on side streets near the church. There is plenty of AC. No bathrooms though so plan ahead. The church was built in 1834. There is no nursery care at the Old Meeting House, but the service is casual and family friendly.
