The 2010 Capital Campaign History of "Our Time - Our Turn"
(From campaign pamphelt publish September 2010)

"Our Time - Our Turn" is the name that our Capital Campaign Committee has selected for our upcoming capital campaign. Now, just what does that mean? It means that it is now the current members' turn to contribute and get involved with this capital campaign. In the history of our church there have been times when members have gotten together to improve the physical property of our church for the comfort, enjoyment and use by all members. In most instances, it is a few members who make substantial contributions but the successful campaigns are ones where all members are involved, take the project personally and contribute to the best of their abilities. As current members, it is truly our time to take a turn at being involved.

Back in January of 1822, eighty women of the Parrish formed a social and benevolent association to gather contributions for the purchase of a stove. They succeeded and in March, a stove was set up in the meetinghouse.

On the evening of December 21, 1907, a fire destroyed the meetinghouse. Two groups set about raising the necessary funds to rebuild the meetinghouse. They also were successful. The new building was dedicated on July 27, 1909 totally free of debt.
 
Now we all have the opportunity to make further improvements.
