STAINED GLASS WINDOWS Our colourful memorial windows are much admired and we are proud of them. Dr. Moir says our windows commemorate themes of Faith and Service. There is a great deal to be noted as we look at each of the windows. Even very small details have meaning. The oldest window?...the circular "rose"-type window at the back of the gallery. It was installed when the church was built. The building was finished and dedicated in 1886. A newspaper of the time reported on the dedication service of St. Paul's, and stated, "Over the main entrance is a magnificent front window of stained glass of most elegant design." This window has no dedication or plaque. All other 10 windows are memorials. submitted by J. Aitken Window 1: On the east wall is the window in memory of the 7 men who died in the Second World War. It depicts ST. MICHAEL. "Be strong and of good courage" St. Michael is the archangel mentioned as the leader of the angels against the dragon and his h ost in the Book of Revelation. The brilliant colouring of his raiment suggests the captain of the hosts of light, riding down the darkness. This youthful celestial warrior clad in coat of mail, sworded and shielded, stands triumphant, symbolic of victory over evil. Always a symbol of inspiration to the Christian warrior, St. Michael brings a message of special encouragement with assurance that the battle has already been won - in the eternal world. He reminds us that all the resources of the spiritual world are ours, when we battle for the right. St. Michael, as Captain of the heavenly hosts, is generally accepted as the protector of Airmen.

27. Church History On January 5, 1921 the Ladies Aid Society was formed for this express purpose . Then, as now, many summer residents called Memorial Presbyterian their http://www.sylvanlake.com/presbyterian/history.html

Church History On August 4th, 1922 the first Protestant church in Sylvan Lake was dedicated to the glory of God and in memory of the early pioneers of the area, hence the name Sylvan Lake Memorial Presbyterian Church. However this was not the very beginning of this church. For several years previously people had gathered for worship in their homes and, later, in the Hazelwood Hotel and Dingwall Boarding House. These services were conducted by the people themselves or student ministers until finally their first resident minister, Rev. W.G. McKechnie , was appointed by the Board of Missions (as was each and every subsequent minister until Rev. Wilson was "called" by this congregation in 1995). Besides taking responsibility for their own worship services, these early Christian Pioneers set about raising funds for a church building. On January 5, 1921 the Ladies Aid Society was formed for this express purpose. By means of chicken suppers , teas, musical concerts and other activities the Ladies Aid Society and the Board of Managers were able to purchase the land (where the Memorial Presbyterian Church stands today) and the building materials required. The church was erected with volunteer labour and furnished with more money raised by the Ladies Aid Society. The first Communicant members listed in the 1927 records were: Mrs. J. Dingwall

28. Mankato's Churches 1852-1900 On December, 7 1894, the Ladies Aid was first organized. Members of ZionPresbyterian Church merged with the First Presbyterian congregation in 1973. http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/history/oldmankato/1852-1900/churches.html

Churches Established in Mankato Between 1852-1900 Back to Main Street Bethel Baptist Church Taken from a passage by Sharon Swenson Bethlehem Lutheran Church Le Sueur Lutheran Church, Trinity Norwegian Lutheran /Evangelical Church, and Our Saviors Norwegian Lutheran Church of Mankato merged to form Bethlehem Lutheran Church in 1867. In 1924, the first church was dedicated at the corner of Liberty and Second St. As Bethlehem grew, a new sanctuary was built next to the old one. The sanctuary was built entirely of Mankato stone and an artist, Cyrus M. Running, was hired to paint a total of 58 biblical characters on the inner walls. The old church burned down in April of 1978, but the congregation rallied and built a new "Heritage" room, Youth room, and offices for Lutheran Social Services (which rents part of the facility) in its place. Bethlehem places a special emphasis on music and has four choirs which lead the congregation and perform special music for festivals and cantatas. Taken from a passage by Patricia L. Amlie

Home our building our members Pioneer Days of the Hyde Park Historical Society ... Kids Page adaptation of this article From the Hyde Park Historical Society newsletter - Winter 2001 An address given on the 50th Anniversary of Hyde Park Presbyterian Church By Mrs. J. F. Gilchrist - May, 1910 Looking Back to Beginnings... Long years have flown since first we met In the old church that stood in the shade.Gray hairs have come, but we'll ne'er forget The good old times when we sang and prayed...No stained windows reflected the lightNor was pulpit in velvet arrayed;Yet every heart was cheerful and light,In the old church that stood in the shade. This hardly reads like a description of the Hyde Park Presbyterian church, yet the above lines were written many years ago by a former superintendent of the Sabbath School, Mr. James P. Root. The old church stood in a grove of oak trees at the corner of Oak Street and Hyde Park Avenue. It was a quaint little building with a V-shaped roof. The double doors opened upon a center aisle flanked on either side by hard wooden benches. Halfway down on one side was a short bench seating but two, the organist and choirmaster, and in the space thus made were the little melodeon and the big wood stove that smoked sadly when the wind blew from the east.

30. Presbyterian Women At various times called the Ladies Aid Society, the Ladies Benevolent Societyand the The Presbyterian Women meet in small groups, called circles, http://www.2ndpreslou.org/ministries/women.htm

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among you." Matthew 18:20 The women of Second Presbyterian Church have a long and rich history of mission outreach, community involvement and regular Bible study. At various times called the Ladies' Aid Society, the Ladies' Benevolent Society and the Women's Auxiliary, this organization is now known as the Presbyterian Women and it is as vital and active a ministry today as ever! The Presbyterian Women's organization is dedicated to building an inclusive caring community for all women of Second Church. The goals of the Presbyterian Women are: To involve women in the activities, work and worship of the congregation; To provide education in the Christian faith and to provide a place for discussion of that faith; To challenge women to identify their talents and to help them realize the joy of using these gifts in God's service; To help overcome loneliness, especially among those women who are unable to participate in church activities; and To endeavor to make our community a better place for all.

The event, held in conjunction with the meeting of the Presbyterian College Board of Trustees, brought together individuals and representatives from churches, foundations, and corporations who have made gifts or pledges of $100,000 or more to the college. The society, established by the college's trustees in 1982, is named for the founder of the college and the first pastor of First Presbyterian Church. "First Presbyterian Church and Presbyterian College share significant anniversaries this year - our 150th and the college's 125th," said Dr. Dennis Tedder, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, who accepted the award along with elders Jimmy Jacobs and Jettie Young, both descendents of Jacobs. "First Presbyterian Church was present from the college's inception. Our past and our present are interwoven, inseparable, and the opportunity to now mark this milestone year together is wonderful. We do celebrate all that our institutions have shared from our beginning and through the years."

Its virtues were extolled in the 1882 catalog in these words: The health of the town is unsurpassed. It is not subject to malarial diseases, is remarkably free from pulmonary complaints, has a dry atmosphere, excellent water and is the highest point on the railway from Greenville to Columbia; the mountains 50 mites distant, being visible from the College building. The morals of the village are the best. No liquor is sold within the limits of the town, a special law forbidding its sale within three miles of the Clinton depot... There are three churches, the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist, and the community is almost without exception a church-going. Sabbath-keeping community. William States Lee stepped down from the presidency in 1885 but remained for four more years as professor of mathematics and mental philosophy and as manager of the boarding department. He was succeeded as president by the Rev. Robert Perry Smith, a Davidson College graduate who had served the previous nine years as president of Reidville Female Academy. Smith, like all of the early presidents, combined administrative duties with teaching. He was professor of natural science and English literature on the three-man faculty. The other teacher, in addition to Lee, was Edwin L. Barnes, who handled Latin, Greek and German as well as being bursar and clerk.

About Us Our Pastor Church Staff On September 16, 1888 the Rev. C. S. Sprecher organized the Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church on the corner of Garnet Avenue and Jewell Street. A lemon packing house was moved to the site and it became the first building for our Church. Read Edith Barron 's full story below.... PB Pres is a community of disciples seeking to glorify God, to grow in Christ, and to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are called to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, to be a place of worship, healing and prayer, and to further God's kingdom in the world. We commit ourselves to: teaching and preaching God's Word and sharing of the sacraments deepending our life of prayer and meditation nurturing our children in Christian learning and love reaching out in Christian service practicing Christian stewardship of our time, talent and treasure witnessing to Jesus Christ in our daily living A Century of Grace and Growth by Edith Barron All these years I have grown and become a part of this church family both in its periods of sadness and in its celebration of good times. I wish I could have been here in 1888 when the Church was first organized. I have heard many stories about the early days.

The Peter Plotkin Paintings Most of the settlers who came to Collin County during the decade, 1840-1850, were from Tennessee and Kentucky. This was due to the fact that Louisville, Kentucky, was headquarters for the Peter's Colony, the company authorized by the Republic of Texas to give land in this area to settlers. Many of these people were Cumberland Presbyterians, a branch of the Presbyterian church which originated in the Cumberland region west of the Alleghenies. There were three Cumberland Presbyterian churches in Collin County before the Civil War, the ones at Walnut Grove, Parker, and McKinney. After the close of the Civil War, due to the aftermath of devastation in much of the "Deep South," settlers began coming from these states to Collin County. Some of them were members of the "Southern" or "Old School" Presbyterian Church, our Presbyterian Church, U.S. So it was that our church came into being in 1874. In one of his notable addresses, the Reverend Robert I. Gannon, former president of Fordham University, said, "All true civilization is ninety per cent heirlooms and memories - an accumulation of small but precious deposits left by the generations that have gone before us." It is in the spirit of calling to mind the heirlooms and memories of our church that this little booklet is presented to the members of the congregation.
