Yesterday, First Christian Church of Greensboro celebrated turning 100 this year. Their Centennial Celebration Fun Day was held in the parking lot of the church at 1900 West Market Street. The event was a bit hit. It was open not only to the church community, but also the community at large. The above photo was taken at the end of the festival when many people had already left. The church has been working hard to raise $100,000 as part of their Legacy Fund, which is an endowment fund. The money raised is used for educational outreach and ministry above and beyond the annual budgeted amount. They should announce today if the money was raised.
As an example of special ministry events, today, Vy Nguyen is guest speaker for the Centennial Celebration worship service. He is the director of Week of Compassion, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) disaster relief effort. He travels the world as part of his ministry, but calls Linh Bui, California home. His participation in the 100th anniversary celebration should be really special. Let's hope they continue for another 100 years and beyond!
That must have been fun for all!
