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.
This week's archives entry is a picture and blurb from the church's newsletter ("The First Methodist") about a staff meeting that took page in 1952.
The way churches work often changes very little. In this staff meeting in 1952 (with Bob Morrison in the middle, now living in his 100th year), the staff got together in the Pastor's study to plan out the coming weeks and months in the life of the church. No doubt the themes of the lectionary and the liturgical year were discussed, along with plans for the choirs and the Sunday school programs.
Very recently, the current Director of music ministries, organist and Pastor of this church all got together and talked about the coming weeks and months in the life of the church. This more recent staff meeting also happened in the very same room as the one which took place in 1952.
At this more recent meeting, the remainder of Lent and the coming Easter and Pentecost were discussed. The general life of the church was talked about and ideas were bandied back and forth about worship and music.
There was one key difference between the staff meeting which took place in 2026 and the one which happened in 1952 - in 2026, some delicious hummus was also enjoyed.
