Two-Day Statewide Event

September 24 & 25

This is a vital Methodist ministry 

providing care and support for individuals 

re-entering society after incarceration

To find out how you can be involved in this statewide event, go here

This is From the Archives, where we present something from our extensive collection of archival photos, records and all manner of materials dating back to when the church was First Methodist Episcopal, to First Methodist, to Church of the Savior, to St. Paul's to Crossroads.

For this week's archive entry, we present a bulletin from May of 1914. The Pastor of the church (then First Methodist Episcopal) was Dr T Wallis Grose, and he and his wife were listed as living at 132 Cleveland Ave, which was the address of the church parsonage which was eventually replaced with the current education wing.

They presented two services that day, the morning service at 10:00 am and an evening program, the Silver Jubilee Anniversary of the Epworth League, featuring the choir and the church's "young people."

The church had several interesting departments listed on the back cover, including the Cradle Roll, the Standard Bearers, the Queen Esther Circle, the King's Daughters (and Heralds) and Mothers Jewels. They really made an effort to give things interesting names back then.

Also, choir rehearsals were held on Saturday evenings at 7:00 pm. This would be unthinkable today!
