In August 2012, Elfinwild Presbyterian Church will celebrate its 100th Anniversary. Plans are being developed by a committee of members to plan a year long celebration of our church and its ministry over these past 100 years. One of the projects planned is the publication of a church history, providing members a glimpseof what was going on at Elfinwild during each decade since 1912, biographical sketches of our pastors, listing of church officers and members, and pictures. We also want to provide church family members – new and long-standing - an opportunity to share their Memories of Elfinwild.  These memories include such things as: What it was like to be at Elfinwild during the 1930’s/1940’s/1950’s, etc.; Memories of youth groups, work camps, Sunday school classes and outings; church ministry teams; worship services that had a deep meaning; church dinners; church fundraisers to name a few.  Whatever you want to write about and contribute to Memories of Elfinwild will be appreciated.  Short or long, the more information and stories we gather, the more we will all be able to understand the great history and legacy of Elfinwild that could be lost if we don’t collect them now.  For families, we encourage you to sit, talk and write down those stories that you have heard from those still living, or have passed on, but were a part of Elfinwild’s past and present.  Please write your and your families memories down and send them to: Jim Giel, Jr. at the church office or e-mail them to Jim Giel at gielwest@verizon.net.  Everyone has a story of Elfinwild and we want to hear it!
