Plans are progressing for our Homecoming Celebrating the 100th Birthday of our beautiful church building on May 5th. Hopefully we will have every pew in the sanctuary, classroom and balcony filled. Invite your family, former church members, all church members, friends, everyone!! we will start with our worship service at 10:30, continue with a potluck lunch in the fellowship hall. The church will provide the meat and drinks. Rev. Jack Baldwin will present a history of the church. Following lunch we will go to the parking lot across the street for a concert performed by the 4Given Gospel Quartet. Come join us as we begin the Celebration.

I had a phone call from one of our former members, that grew up in the church today, Nancy Dupree Shoppe. She is going through boxes of pictures to share of people that were members here. Her grandfather, E. F. Puryear donated one of the stain glass windows. Her aunt was on the building committee. Nancy, wo is now in her mid-80s is hoping to come soon to visit Athens and especially to our Celebration.

I found this in going through old papers of FCC and it gave me an idea. Let's make a memory book. Write down a memory or something about how you feel about First Christian, Athens.

Construction began on the present day First Christian Church Athens in 1919. It was completed in 1920. We are looking for any pictures, memorabilia, ... commemorating the last 100 plus years or people that have attended and events. We have a rich and blessed history. We have set up this page and the email account [email protected] to help people to add pictures. Also we will have a picture day (TBA) when pictures will be scanned at the church.
We also need people willing to serve on the Centennial Committee. If interested please let Susan know.
If you have any ideas of events to help celebrate also let us know.
