Descendents of the donors of our church’s historical stained glass windows join us at our church’s September 30, 2012 140th Anniversary celebration.   Our celebration also included the recitation of our “Sunbonnet Steeple” poem (our steeple’s construction was financed by the sale of sunbonnets stitched by the women of our church’s “Circle of Industry”!), many Sundays of bell-ringing that added up to 140 rings for the history of our church […]

In June, 2012 we established our Memorial Garden, located in the church’s south side yard.  The garden, tree-sheltered and surrounded by handsome shrubbery, features bricks commemorating persons connected with the church and is a place for quiet contemplation and prayer.  It is also available as an interment site. To discuss purchase of a brick or explore interment arrangements, please contact the church office:  (804) 798-5543.    

Several times a year we grab all sorts of tools and gadgets – paint brushes, mops,  sponges, power tools, rakes, clippers, trowels. . .and round up our people-power to clean and beautify our church’s exterior and interior!

When Maxfield Shea, one of our lifelong church members and son of Beverly Shea, left Ashland for the military we feted him with a loving and supportive send-off luncheon.

Larry Sthreshley, one of the Presbyterian Church’s longtime missionaries in the Democratic Republic of the Congo tells us about his recent mission activities.  He is the son of lifelong Ashland Presbyterian Church member and retired missionary to Congo, Flo Sthreshley.

Randolph-Macon College’s Ujima Gospel Choir, inspired us with their joyous and uplifting gospel songs and style!

Stalwart, warm-hearted and always giving — Alice Moore is one of our oldest and most beloved church members.  She recently celebrated her ninetieth birthday — and her friends and relatives celebrated it joyously with her at a special luncheon!

In 2009 our church presented a delightful comedy, “And So They Had None.”  This frothy concoction featured a group of slightly batty, but lovable characters — dinner party guests desperate for dessert and having great difficulty finding a missing cake! Theatre guests were provided with a full-course dinner between the acts. It was served, in true mystery dinner theatre style, by the actors!

Our celebrations are marked by delicious food, lovely flowers and lots of fun!
