EPC to hold Centennial Celebration

The First Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) in Levelland will be celebrating 100 years on Oct. 19.

The celebration will feature worship with prayer and song, and a sermon by Rev. Jon Sharp, followed by a fellowship meal and opportunity to reminisce, see photos, visit and laugh.

Church service times are 9:30 a.m., Sunday School; 10:40 a.m., Worship Service; and Noon, Food and Fellowship.

The church, established in 1925, has seen many changes through the years. Under the leadership of Vic Shea and a renovating committee, the church building and grounds were renovated in 1982-1985, which included carpet, paint, upholstery for the pews, structural changes to the pulpit, new restrooms, parlor carpet and furniture.

A stained-glass memorial and dedication took place in 1985. All aisle windows are identical except for a circular etching near the top. Each circle contains a different ancient Christian symbol. Additional symbols are used in the Narthex transom. The stained-glass windows were made and installed by Dale and Lynn Schenck of Reflected Impressions in Lubbock.

The beauty and reverence of the sanctuary remain as a hallmark of faith and dedication to serving the Lord.
