Bluffton Presbyterian celebrates 175th anniversary, hosts concert on August 4
"Over 10,000 worship services and still going strong!"
Bluffton Presbyterian Church is celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2024. The church, originally called The Presbyterian Church of South Bethel, was organized June 6, 1849. The first members met in various homes. In 1852 the Goble heirs donated the land where the present church now stands. The first building was erected soon after.
As a kickoff to the celebrations, the church will present “The Story of Jesus in Music” on Sunday, August 4 at 7:00 p.m. The public is invited to this concert which features three professional harpists, violin, viola, guitar, hand bells, choir and a narrator. Light refreshments will be served after the one-hour concert.
During Bluffton History Day on August 10, Bluffton Presbyterian will be serving Lunch on the Lawn from 10:00-1:30 with sandwiches, chips, drinks and desserts for sale.
