Perry's First U.M. Church's 200th Anniversary Luncheon on Oct. 2Now Open to All SLI Families

The First United Methodist Church of Perry NY is celebrating, in 2016, its 200th Anniversary of being a Perry-area congregation with a Bishop-appointed Pastor (1816-2016). An invitation was extended to the Silver Lake Institute to come join the celebration on October 2nd beginning with a Holy Communion Service at 11 a.m. followed by an Anniversary Luncheon. Since so many of the SLI Trustee Board and Committee Members are part time residents at the Institute and live considerable distances away on the off-season, the invitation has been extended to all SLI resident families which include year-round resident families.

Institute resident families should feel free to come to the 11:00 a.m. Service of Holy Communion which is served to all including children. Then the congregation would love to have you stay for the Anniversary Luncheon with the only caveat being that you RSVP the SLI Institute Chaplain who also serves on the Bicentennial Committee, so adequate preparations can be made for a delicious meal including Beef on Weck from the Charcoal Corral. RSVP can be made by telephone (585-444-7384, 585-689-9035) or by email (greg@silverlakeinstitute.org). If you are not available for church, you are still welcome to attend the Luncheon if you call in the number of persons planning to come no later than Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 5 p.m.
