This year marks Gibson’s 150th Anniversary!
Gibson has strong roots in this community’s history, and as such, generations of many local families have grown-up in and attended this church over the years. So as this is a landmark anniversary, our Worship Committee has decided to mark the occasion with a REUNION!! On May 5, 2024, EVERYONE is invited to join us in celebrating this special place, where many memories have been made congregating in worship and in fellowship for literally over a century. ALL are welcome – please share this news!
This will be an event to remember! There will be special musical guests, former ministers, guest speakers, and a few ‘surprise’ guests in attendance. Following a memorable service, we will be celebrating with a potluck and BBQ and there will be lots of fun activities planned for all ages. In order to make this a success, we need your help with the following:
- Heather Fyffe and crew are organizing a CELEBRATION CHOIR for this special service only. We would love to once again fill our choir loft with ‘heavenly’ voices. Practices will take place after church services on Sundays leading up to the big day. If you were once in the choir, or are interested in joining for this special occasion, please contact the office by phone or email.
- We are gathering photos, family recipes (favorite potluck contributions, UCW ladies, grandmothers, etc), memories, stories, history and memorabilia of any kind that would pertain to the church and it’s members. Please email (if possible) or drop-off your ‘treasures’ to the church office at your earliest convenience.
So mark your calendars for May 5th and start spreading the word that this will be a REUNION to remember, and ALL are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
Women Together:
Every Tuesday our Women Together group gathers in the hall at 1:30pm for refreshments and conversation. Sometimes one of the ladies will organize a craft project for the group, or they will make pickles, or pies together for upcoming fundraising dinners. Most generally, they like to work on a latest knitting project, or otherwise, while sharing lively conversation…and it can get lively with a couple of comedians in the group! ALL ladies (sorry gents) are welcome to attend and bring along a friend, or make a couple here!
