IN 2026 THE CHURCH BUILDING (AND THE ORGAN)TURN 100 YEARS OLD!
Looking for all those that would like to be part of a large group that would plan the what, when, and where of the celebration.
This group would meet after church on Mar. 8th.
This large group would make some decisions about when to celebrate:
1. All year long
2. Only the month of November
3. One week in November
This large group would break down into smaller subcommittees depending on people’s interests:
1. Planning a special meal or meals
2. Planning a re-dedication of the building (including the new designation of being on the National Register or planning that as a separate event)
3. Creating a written history of the building.
4. Possibly obtaining an original window from original building that could be incorporated into our current building.
5. Making lists of former pastors, organists, etc.
6. Making lists of former members/interested people to invite
7. Planning an organ recital
Anything else the large committee can think of!
These smaller committees would work on their own, but all would meet once a month after church to compare notes and help keep moving forward.
If you can’t attend on March 8, but would like to participate, call or text Karen at 402.613.7771
