Sunday, August 19th the community of Percival gathered to celebrate 150 years of its founding in 1868. Present and former residents of Percival worshiped in a simpler manner as bulletins would not have been handed out. Kate Roberts accompanied the congregation on the organ during the singing of 3 hymns, Shall We Gather At The River, Church In The Wildwood and God Be With You Till We Meet Again. She also played some beautiful prelude music on the piano. Thank you Kate for sharing your talent on this special occasion.
The sermon was delivered by Pastor Blaine Pritchett as it was originally delivered by John Todd on October 5, 1862 and was entitled “Passing Away.” The thrust of the message was how everything from ideas, government, buildings, philosophy and years… even our lives are all a passing of time. It was appropriate for us today in 2018. Approximately 75-80 people attended and everyone felt that the Percival Community Church was a still a central piece for the community to gather both in fellowship and worship! To God be the glory!
