Consecration of Wesley Chapel and the Fellowship Hall

On the second Sunday of September, 1965, the first services were held in the fellowship hall. The Saturday before everyone worked to get everything ready. The kitchen was not finished until the Monday before Thanksgiving. Rotary was served in the old church until the kitchen was completed. On Wednesday, Thanksgiving eve, members cooked a Turkey dinner for MYF (the Methodist Youth Fellowship). On November 21, 1965, a Consecration Service was held. Dr. Howard Mumma, and Dr. Frances Kearns, Bishop were participants.

The beautiful, faceted-glass windows were created by Willet Glass Studios (now Willet-Hauser Architectural Glass). Details about the windows can be found in our Windows Wednesday blog series.
