We hope you enjoy this week's Staying Connected Stories edition. This week's focus is about our presbytery's heritage with profiles of some of our earliest congregations.
Every year, Presbyterians celebrate Heritage Sunday, a day to reflect upon and learn more about the long and rich history of the Presbyterian church in America. Heritage Sunday always falls on the Sunday closest to May 21, the opening date of the first General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States in 1789. Use the resources on the Presbyterian Historical Society website to recognize Heritage Sunday in your congregation, download free bulletin inserts, and learn more about Presbyterian history.
According to PCUSA statistics, our presbytery has 17 churches that were organized in the 1800s! Read more about some of these churches on our website. If your church is not featured in this issue, and you would like to share your story in the future, contact Marigrace Doran at marigrace@staugpres.org.
