Each Pentecost, we take a church family photo, with folks dressed in reds and yellows, the color of flames, representing the Holy Spirit!

New Cowan Chapel Lectern!
Church Council commissioned a new lectern for Cowan Chapel in memory of Elizabeth Orwig, former member and daughter of Jim and Kay Or
wig. Betsy passed away in 2014 after a long struggle with MS. The lectern was designed and crafted by Jeff Hutton with design elements drawn from Betsy’s life as a dancer and the wood-work of the Cowan Chapel Organ. Jeff is Berea College friend of John Courter and Union Church, currently living in Alexandria, KY. The new lectern is height-adjustable for maximum usability!
