A Sunday Celebration at our church!

Sunday, we had a special worship service/concert at our church to celebrate 40 years of combining two congregations (Grace United Methodist and Stanhope Christian) into one, Stanhope Parish.

The bell choir performed 6 songs; the Parish Choir sang several songs; there was a hymn-sing and some history and humor along the way, too.

It was also a chance to show off the newly remodeled (after two flooding incidents) Parish Hall in the basement of the church with a reception after the service.

Above are two of the church's 5 active pianists!
