Service of Remembrance

Sunday, July 10
Tabernacle, 9:45 am

This Remembrance Service will include individual tributes from family members and friends of loved ones who have passed on during this last year. As in the past, we plan to observe a lovely tradition of placing a flower from one vase into the other, representing the gathering of a bouquet of our fondest memories of someone special in our lives. You have the option of just speaking the person’s name, sharing something with us about them as well, or just placing a flower silently, if that is what you prefer. The Rev. Dr. Bill McKinney will be the officiant at this morning’s service.

For more information about this service and to include someone to be honored, please contact Alice Brown, 508-560-2289, or 173 Lake Elizabeth Dr., Craigville.

    Organist: Reverend Scott Siciliano, Minister of Worship and the Arts, Colonial Park United Church of Christ, Harrisburg, PA

The extended Fowell family will gather for a Service of Remembrance for Judy and Peter Cadou.  Judy was the daughter of Rev and Mrs. Myron Fowell who built and resided in Kendra and Luke Henderson’s cottage next door to Eric and Ginny’s home.  Judy's brother Elvin Fowell sold the Henderson’s the lot in between the two.   

Rev. Eric Henderson will preside, and Ginny Henderson will play the organ.   Matt Taylor, a music major in opera performance, who attends Family Camp is working with the Clegg Family to fulfill their request of opera selections for the Memorial Service.  All are welcome.

Rev. Myron W. Fowell was the secretary of the Massachusetts Conference, an early Craigville cottage owner and a long-time director of the CCMA. He was a key factor in the UCC conference coming to Craigville. Elvin (Al) Fowell was his son, a noted botanist and died in 2019. Kate Clegg, Myron's granddaughter and Elvin's niece, is helping with the nature trail project in memory of her parents and grandparents.
