Bicentennial Update (July 1, 2008)

 

The celebration of our Bicentennial year will begin in September and culminate with events on September 27 and October 5, 2009. Honoring members, past and present, who have so selflessly assisted others less fortunate in the Athens community, is central to our celebration. The Bicentennial Worship Service and Luncheon are scheduled for September 27. The funds contributed to the Bicentennial Mission Projects (My Sister's Place and Amesville/New England Parish) will be presented to the recipients at the luncheon. A Bicentennial Celebration for the community will be held on October 5 with the presentation of commissioned music and a guest speaker.

 

A sampling of plans for the year include: the Liturgical Flag Group making a Bicentennial Quilt, which will hang over the staircase leading to Fellowship Hall; The Cat's Meow company making a wooden free standing copy of the church (you may have seen copies of O.U. buildings in bookstores) which may be purchased for yourself or given as gifts; the “favorite hymns” submitted will be researched and many of them sung in services throughout the year and at the Bicentennial events.

 

Contributions are being received and pledges/gifts may be made in honor of, or memory of, somebody who is important to you. As minds begin to focus on summer plans, we hope that you will consider contributing to the Bicentennial Mission and Celebration of First Presbyterian Church which occurs only ONCE each TWO HUNDRED YEARS!
