In 2003 the First Presbyterian Church of Verona, New York will be celebrating its bicentennial. The exact date of the bicentennial is 05-AUG-2003. However, we will be observing the bicentennial and celebrating with festivities throughout the year - including a number of ceremonies/social events/services the first week of August. Once a month, during regular service, a time period in Verona First's history will be featured. The theme of the bicentennial is Verona First: 200 Years…. And Beyond as we commemorate the first two hundred years of First Presbyterian Church and graciously, humbly, lovingly look to the future.
Join us for the Bicentennial celebration and events, throughout the year!
