175th Anniversary, Groveville United Methodist Church

On Sunday May 22nd we celebrated the church's 175th anniversary. The Service of Celebration began at 10:30 am. Our District Superintendent will bring the message and will celebrate Communion. The Rev. Robert Cook and the Rev. Ron Crouch will serve Communion and share memories of their time here. After the service lunch will be served in the Fellowship Hall lovingly prepared by our faithful "Kitchen Crew". On Wednesday night May 25th, at 7:00 PM, we will hold an Ole Fashioned Ice Cream Social. The community is invited to join us for fun and fellowship. The Rev. Carl Craft and Rev. Elizabeth (Betty)Vaneekoven will share memories of Groveville United Methodist Church and it's influence upon their lives. There will also be entertainment prepared by members of the congregation. We are asking that each church family attending bring a favorite ice cream "topping" to share. Come join us as we celebrate 175 years of serving God and Community in Groveville.
