Milestone for Kingston’s Methodist Church in April | A Glance at the Past
Published 12:00 pm Wednesday, April 23, 2014
First, an apology is in order for the missing “Glance at the Past” for March. I was ready to send my article from the sunshine in Southern California, but my very well- used computer decided to take a permanent vacation. Actually, it died! It will be buried when I return to Kingston in April.
This picture is of a relatively new building in the Kingston area. It is of Redeemer United Methodist Church, located on the corner of Parcells and Shorty Campbell Road.
The month of April is most important. The first Methodist worship service held in the Kingston area was on Easter Sunday, April 2004.
The multipurpose room at Wolfle Elementary School was Redeemer’s home for 10 years.
Twenty years have passed since then. Some founding members decided that a birthday celebration was called for. Invitations have been mailed, notices posted, and plans made.
The birthday party is April 27 at the church. Cal White, the founding pastor, will be preaching, and a brief slide show of the first 20 years will be shown. And, after the services, a uniquely Methodist potluck luncheon will be enjoyed by everyone present!
The Kingston Historical Society is still trying to remain afloat. Please join us in the Senior Center room of the Community Center at 10 a.m. on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Write to us at P.O. Box 333, Kingston.
