We will be celebrating the 200th Anniversary of our Church on Sept. 26th and Sept. 27th. The actual founding of the Church took placed on July 28, 1809 by six men and three women joining in Christ's name for his services.
Friends and relatives of present and former congregations will be welcomed at special events. A dinner is being planned for Saturday, Sept 26 with musical entertainment by the Dunnemons. Displays of historical events of the past will be shown. Of special note is the Worship Service on Sunday, Sept. 27 when speakers from the New York State Baptist Churches will be present. Notices of this event are being sent out with a follow-up letter later.
Our Church was one of the earliest Protestant Churches established in the City and its rich history if a part of the City of Ogdensburg. Many anniversary celebrations have been held through the years. One of note was the sesquicentennial held in 1959 from October 2nd to the 4th.
Please record the dates of Sept 26 and 27 on your calendar and plan to join us in this great celebration.
