REMINISCE SUNDAY, NOV. 9, 2008 – A-3 Editor: Jody Martinez, 468-3517 The Ukiah Daily Journal [email protected] Mendocino Presbyterian to celebrate its 150th year Opera Concert on Saturday is the first event in a year of activities The Daily Journal “Honor the Past - Celebrate the Future” is the theme for the 150th anniversary of the Mendocino Presbyterian Church congregation. In 1852, the first protestant services in the vil- lage were conducted in the gangmill cookhouse of the Mendocino Lumber Company. Mendocino pioneer Peter Kelly, an ordained Presbyterian elder from Prince Edward Island, guided the group of worshipers when no minis- ter was available. By 1859, with eight members, the congrega- tion applied to, and was received by, the San Francisco Presbytery as an established church. For almost 150 years, the church has been home to a vibrant community of people who come together to worship, to learn, and to serve others. This congregation has played an integral part in the history of the community of Mendocino and it continues that history with a yearlong celebra- tion. The menu of events is intended to provide something for everyone, and includes concerts, themed dinners, art shows, a family-oriented bar- becue, Oktoberfest 2009 and more. It all begins with “Opera Concert in the Sanctuary” on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m. The concert features internationally recognized tenor Carlos Montane and other singers and a Photos courtesy of Mendocino Presbyterian Church pianist from the Indiana School of Music.
