150th Anniversary Worship Service

  • First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia 201 South 21st Street Philadelphia, PA, 19103 United States (map)

On Sunday, October 23, at 11 AM, there will be a special worship service observing our building’s dedicatory service 150 years ago, that includes scripture readings and hymns from that original service and a Commemoration Reception following the service in Old Buttonwood Hall that will recall the more formal post-worship receptions of the past, and will feature a menu of earlier times and a silver and tea and coffee service that has been in our church vault for many years.

On display in the Old Buttonwood Hall will be historic photographs and artifacts recalling the history of our building.  There will be only one worship service on October 23, and that joint service will include special activities for children featuring architectural features and artifacts in the sanctuary.
