Worthington UMC's Bicentennial 1808 - 2008
Did you know that our church is 200 years old this year? Plans are underway for celebrating this historic occasion. We begin the festivities on Sunday, April 20th with an Old Time Religion Sunday. Plan to join us for joyful gospel music, toe tapping fiddle playing and a visit from an early Methodist circuit rider who will arrive on horseback just as he did 200 years ago. Everyone will be talking about the excitement this day brings to the life of our church so come prepared to honor our past, enjoy the present and prepare for the future!
