The West Market Street United Methodist Church is one of the oldest churches in Greensboro. The congregation was established in 1830, only twenty two years after Greensboro became a city. While the above location is not the original, the church is one of the closest to downtown. Yesterday, served as the backdrop for the local "Hands Off" protest. About 2,000 people came to town to exercise their right to protest peacefully. There were people of all ages. Protestors were positioned all along Market Street. It will be interesting to see if the protest is mentioned during the service today.
In the meantime, something that will be mentioned is their upcoming Easter Egg Hunt in Lebauer Park on Saturday, April 12th from 3:00 - 4:30 pm in LeBauer Park. Children can not only hunt eggs, but participate in crafts and have snacks, The church is requisition you bring canned food for their food pantry. As with yesterday's protest, the egg hunt will be open to everyone!
Happy Sunday!
