Greetings, reader! Thank you for joining us in a look back at the past fifty-plus years of the ministry of Stone United Methodist Church.
Continuing to build on the kind of firm foundation that grows from an awareness of where Stone United Methodist Church has been, its move into the always unknown future is underway.
To bring that dream to fruition, a devoted group has devoted countless hours to researching and compiling the years 1968 to 2021.
The current volume has been designed to apply that tradition of one-stop accessibility to the subsequent half century.
Marking the occasion, a volume detailing the early years of the Methodist Church in Meadville was produced, putting access to the History of the congregation in easily accessible form.
