Parma Greece United Church of Christ is celebrating its 191st anniversary serving local and global neighbors. The church will recognize this momentous occasion by offering several opportunities to celebrate:
•Sunday, August 17, 10 a.m. – Outdoor worship service followed by a pot luck picnic
•Wednesday, August 20, 7 p.m. – “Young Lion of the West” Erie Canal historical presentation by Dan Cody
•Sunday, August 24, 10 a.m. – Anniversary Sunday Worship, followed by fellowship and refreshments
•Sunday, August 24, 1 p.m. – “Hot Jazz, Cool Summer” jazz concert by the Laura Dubin Trio followed by a reception.
During the August 24 worship service, the church will be dedicating its newly renovated bell tower to Mary and Arthur Newcomb, who were married in the sanctuary in 1935. Their son, Don Newcomb, will be doing the ribbon cutting. Also on that day, church members will exhume their time capsule that was buried in 1995. They will open it and view the contents, then after adding some of their own hopes and dreams, will return it to its resting place.
Parma Greece United Church of Christ is located at 1211 Manitou Road, Hilton. For information, call 585-392-6120 or visit http://www.parmagreeceucc.org.
