cKendree To Celebrate Its Historic SanctuaryHundred Year Homecoming

ong Roots - New Life!

We are told in the Book of Leviticus

at the Hebrews were mandated toebrate a Year of Jubilee at the endevery seven Sabbatical cycles, or 50ars. McKendree is celebrating note cycle, but two in the year 2010!

On July 4, 1905 the third churchmed for Bishop William McKendree,d the sixth church belonging to thatngregation, burned to the ground.

e Sunday following the fire, Dr. E.B.appell preached that "The calamity is

call for opportunities presented."

There was an immediate concern

over discussion that the church wouldbe sold, and the Official Board wasoffered $115,000 for the valuable landand location. Wiser heads prevailedand the Board refused that first offer. InFebruary of 1906 an architect was giventhe right to furnish plans for a newbuilding. Despite other considerations ofmoving, the cornerstone was laid onDecember 10, 1907 and McKendreereaffirmed its mission as an inner-citychurch!

By 1910 The Bannerdescribed thenew structure as being "a model inarchitectural appearance and interior

arrangements."The pastor's study w

located behind the sanctuary on tmain floor, and in the basement wmodern kitchen. Of special interesthe beautiful sanctuary windowsdepicting scenes from the life of Cwhich have since been a focal pointerest and worship.

To recognize the second Year Jubilee of our sanctuary, 100 years

now in 2010, we are planning a spweekend of events on October 30

2010. Please save the date!
