185th Anniversary Observance
on All Saints Sunday
The morning worship of All Saints Sunday and the observance of the 185th Anniversary of St. Paul's United Church of Christ will feature a few members of the congregation reflecting on past members of their respective families who were very much a part of the history of St. Paul's.
It is fitting that we should take time to honor our past on the Sunday prior to All Saints Day. This is the time of the church year when we recognize the bond we share with all of our ancestors in faith: both those we know and those we only know through their impact in building up Christ's church. It is also an opportunity to remember those everyday saints who have supported us and nurtured us in our Christian walk.
A special bulletin insert will include the names of our members who have died. If you have a loved one, relative, or friend you would like to have honored and who was a member of the church, please fill in the sign-up sheet at the church or email their names to the church office by October 20th at mcbucc@embarqmail.com.
You are also invited to bring photos or mementos to display in remembrance of your loved ones who have died.

185th Anniversary Celebration Continues!
The celebration of our history and heritage continues at the home of Chris & Christian Hann in the afternoon on Sunday, October 27th at 3:00pm.
Mark Sheffield, President of the Fulton County Historical Society, will join us to share information and stories about some of his family members who attended the Nazareth Reformed congregation outside of Knobsville, a congregation that disbanded in 1911 and came to McConnellsburg to join St. Paul's. He will also accompany us on a short hayride to the actual site of that congregation.
The Hann's home is located at 1082 Johnstons Drive, McConnellsburg. Light refreshments will be provided.
