Yellow Creek Church of the Brethren (Pearl City), one of the oldest congregations in the district, will celebrate its 175th anniversary in 2023. Plans for specific events are under way. Happy anniversary, Yellow Creek! (The oldest currently, according to denominational records, in case you’re curious, is Hurricane Creek—1843—followed by Franklin Grove and Canton in 1845, and West Branch in 1846. Several others followed Yellow Creek in the 1850s and 1860s.)
