Description

The storied history of the Meeting House with a focus on the evolution of worship. In a two-part Saturday morning program, Donald Dahmann, longtime Meeting House member and chair of the history and archives committee, presents two sessions on the storied history of the Meeting House. The first session, held on January 8, presented an overarching history of the congregation from the colonial era to modern times. The second, on January 22, will focus on the evolution of worship – the Lord’s Day, place of worship, those who proclaimed the Word, those who worshiped, and the worship service. Sessions will also be live streamed. These sessions are the first in a series of monthly events in 2022 celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Meeting House.
