In Search of VPC History – Can You Help?
As we prepare for our 134th anniversary with a Homecoming Event this October 12th and 13th, one project that is underway is the compilation of the history of Vidalia Presbyterian Church. Vickie Mixon is heading up this effort. She has found a great resource that documents the history from 1890 until 1990. However, the period between 1990 and now is without much documentation. Can you help?
Do you have memories to share about the 1990’s and beyond at Vidalia Presbyterian? Vicki is looking for information on the following:
* Regular activities at the church; * Special events that took place;
* Changes in leadership during that period; * Special projects taken on by the church or specific members;
* Anything else you remember and would like to share. * Photos of anything VPC related would be greatly appreciated, too!
If you have any information or photos to share, please contact Vicki Mixon. Or, you can reach out to Juanita in the church office to get the information to Vicki. Call or email: 912-537-3500, or vidaliapresofc@gmail.com.
This page is in progress. We intend to expand the history of our church. Stay tuned!
