Title: We Move for a Month!
Post by: Rev. Elizabeth on June 23, 2007, 10:35:49 AM

During July, the United Church of Fairfax moves its Sunday worship from the Methodist Church on the corner of Fletcher Road, to the Baptist Church Building on Main Street.  Once there were two separate churches in Fairfax, the Methodist Church and the First Baptist Church.  They merged in 1939 and became the Methodist Church.  It was decided to use the Methodist Church as the place of regular worship. But, two church buiildings still remain.  So, in order to maintain its integrity as a church building, worship is held for a month a y ear at the Baptist Church Building.
The Baptist church building is rented by the Masons and Eastern Stars and is used for a variety of community events including the local Food Shelf and historic society activities.
Worship in July, at the Baptist Church Building is still at 10:45 AM!
