225TH ANNIVERSARY NEWSARCHITECTURAL TOUR OF CHURCH – APRIL 11
Bob Shaw, architect and chair of the church Building and Grounds Committee, will give an architectural tour of the church building on Sunday, March 28. Bob wrote a chronological history of the church building, which has erected in 1828. He has pieced together a timeline of the building and knows many curious* and interesting facts about the changes over the years. *C1850 “It did not appear that the building was heated, but a decorative opening in the ceiling seemed to aid ventilation in hot weather.” Question: was 1930 the last year the church kitchen was renovated? Meet Bob at noon in the Sanctuary.
MONDAY NIGHT AT THE CHURCH – APRIL 12
Mark your calendars for Monday, April 12 at 7:15 PM. You will not want to miss Ellen O’Neall-Waite’s performance. Ellen is an amazingly talented actress, writer, vocalist and all-around entertainer. She will present a one-woman performance focused on an historic figure associated with the church. Bring the whole family and plan to be entertained and enlightened. She will repeat the performance on Sunday, April 25 after worship.
PARTY & DANCE – MAY 8
It’s time to party! Save Saturday, May 8 at 7 PM and show up in Unity Hall with your party face and dancing shoes on. If you don’t dance, come to enjoy Sten Gustavson and his band play popular favorites and spend time socializing with your church friends…and invite your non-church friends too. This is an adults-only party and costs $5 per person.
ABBY’S HOUSE – DONATIONS
Thank you to all who have so generously donated items to Abby’s House as a gift to the church.
CHURCH HISTORY PANELS
Be sure to view the church’s famous history panels which are set up in the dining room area. A new 13th panel has been added to bring the church history up to date. The panels give a unique visual history beginning in 1785…of our church, of Worcester and of some national history as well. Bill Densmore was the chief organizer of this project. Enjoy this original look at who we are, where we come from and who we are today.
CHURCH HISTORY BOOKLET
Be sure to pick up a copy of the church’s new history booklet written by Bunny Guerrin.
Copies are available after worship or you can get it on-line through the church newsletter. We are asking a $1 donation to help defray publication costs. Enjoy!
