Picture of the month!  At a church youth function back in 1986, Sarah & Alex Preston feeding the geese with 4 year old Krista Barbor. Also, looking on are Pam Preston and Suzy Wisler. Picture of the Month Archive  On Sunday, March 25, 2012, we welcomed 5 new members into our congregation! Oops! Just found out that we spelled Franklyn's name wrong in the picture. Sorry about that!  Here's a recent photo. It's our sexton, Joe Bernier, showing his new set of wheels to April Hatch. (Photo supplied by Jane Dovan.) So, what is it that Joe calls his new car???  Famous local WCAU newscaster, Orien Reed, visited our church a number of years back. Here she is with Deacons Ruth James and Ginny Wisler.  Back in the early 80's, our church had a contemporary Christian singing group called Sonfire that put on musical programs throughout the area. This is an early photo of that group. Do you remember them? Four of those in the picture still attend every week!  Some of the members of our church who took part in the recent tree planting in Olney and at the church.  Carolyn Ramsey was caught!!! We have learned that she was jailed for "theft of art supplies." You'll have to ask someone from the Keenagers recent trip to LaDore for details.  Back in October of 2002, 2003, and 2004, our church went on Family Retreat weekends to Spruce Lake Retreat. These 2 photos are from those retreats.  This picture was taken over 51 years ago at our church's Camp Sankanac Conference. (picture courtesy of Ginny Wisler) Can you tell who this young lady of our church (past & present) is??? Yes, it's Pat Huebner McKeown!  AUGUST is Community Fest month at Olney Pres! Here's a young "King" fan enjoying the day & some free snacks at last year's festival. This year's Fest will take place on August 20th from 10:30 - 2:00!  July is VBS month at Olney Pres! In honor of Vacation Bible School, we present this collage of our youth leader, Jason Brannan, over the past few years at VBS!  These are the first 4 Sunday School Picnic pictures ever posted on this website. As a matter of fact, they are the only 4 we have from that picnic back in 2002. Do you have any old SS Picnic pictures you'd like to share?  Do you know all these kids??? (Old photo courtesy of Chris Huebner, new photo by Joel Kamm)  These 3 pictures were provided by Ginny Wisler (3rd month in a row -- thanks, Ginny!) They were taken at the Mariners' trip to Bermuda in 1986. Can you identify these folks???  In honor of the month of March, we provide this photo (courtesy of Ginny Wisler) of the New Member's Class from March of 1983. How many of these young people can you name??? Not many people have been able to get them all! Here's the list (don't look if you still want to guess): Top: Beth Kelly, John Dovan, Chuck Wisler, Susan Smith Bottom: Laura Preston, Susan Bishop, Wendy Wilson, Tammy Whitehouse  Like Father, Like Son The original church chef, Bill James, along with the current church chef, Bill James (inset). Photo from Camp Sankanac in 1979 -- provided by Ginny Wisler  Two long-time members at a luncheonette that they owned back in the 50's called Alfrieda's. Photo provided by Frieda D'Auria  In keeping with the recent theme of pictures with Margaret Moore in them, we have this photo of a Christmas program at our church back in the 90's. See anyone you know there???  In keeping with the recent theme of pictures with Margaret Moore in them, we have this photo of our own "Following Footsteps" singing in the chapel back in the 90's.  So, who is this little lady dressed in a costume for a church play back in the early 80's??? Of course, it's little Margaret Moore!  Some of the youth from our church on a youth group trip to the zoo back in 1987. Who do you recognize? <Click here for more> |
