Our Name that Member! feature gave us the opportunity to learn just how well we really know each other. But how well do we know our church?
Here’s this week’s Did you know? Tuesday Trivia!
From the 37th Annual Report dated 1913 – what was this year’s membership?
A) 125
B) 257
C) 200
Answer:
B) From the 37th Annual Report, dated 1913. Rev. H.W. Knox, Pastor. “Last year we reported 242 members, and this year 257 members — a net gain of 15. The membership six years ago was 150, so that the net gain during the present pastorate has been 107. The organization of our women into eight neighborhood groups has contributed largely to the efficiency of our work. The idea is that the women in a certain district of the parish from a church extension center so that all our families in that part of the town get to know each other well and help one another in sickness or in sorrow.”
