Freeport Church of the Brethren Celebrates 90 Years

On October 3, 1920 a group of 42 people gathered to worship and officially organize as a new Church of the Brethren in Freeport, Illinois. We remember and celebrate our forefathers and mothers who shared their great faith in Christ Jesus and established our church. Now 90 years later we have set aside November 14, 2010 as “A Day of New Beginnings.” As someone who has made a contribution to our church we would be pleased to have you share the day with us. Arrangements are being made for times of worship, times of reminiscing and of course times of food and fellowship. Our schedule for the day is: 9:30 AM Morning Worship with Pastor Lisa Fike; 10:30 AM Coffee and Fellowship; 11:00 AM A time of sharing stories; 12:00 Noon A Potluck Lunch (provided by current members) ; 1:00 PM Celebration Worship with former Pastors.

You are invited to participate in as much as your schedule allows. If you are unable to attend but would like to send a greeting we will be pleased to read it to the congregation. Also we know that there many photographs of previous church events. We would love to be able to share those as well. We look forward to seeing many at our celebration.
