A New Building for a Harpersfield Church!
Dedication set for May 20th
COME AND SEE!
Harpersfield United Methodist Church has moved into their new building located at 224 Garford Rd. at the corner of Cork Cold Springs Rd. and Garford Rd. Many thanks go out to the community, construction crews, and supporters for the completion of this project. Palm Sunday marked the first worship service in the new site and what a joyous day it was. Just a year ago on May 11 we celebrated our ground breaking and this year on May 20 a dedication service is planned. The community is again invited to attend this history-making event and to celebrate with us as we begin our ministry and service to our neighbors and the world from this new location.
In October 2008, a donor presented the church with an anonymous gift of 14-1/2 acres at the Garford Rd. location. This property at one time contained a grape vineyard and much of the preparation for construction included cleanup from that endeavor. A building team was instituted during 2010. Members of the team include Dick Fisher and Dick Curtis, co-chairs; Becky D'Angelo, John Felicijan and Denise Curtis. The capital campaign was kicked off in the fall of 2010 with Bill Stone and Marilyn Garner-Legg leading the campaign finance team. The campaign theme "Chosen to Enrich God's Vineyard" resulted in the beautiful building that is being dedicated May 20.
Each week Sunday School classes for all ages begin at 9:30 AM followed by worship at 11:00. Pastor Shirley Stoops-Frantz has served the church for the past six years. The church phone number is 466-4778. As always, the community is invited to come and join the excitement of the church family at Harpersfield UMC.
