The Evangelical and Reformed Historical Society is preparing to celebrate the first annual Heritage Sunday on June 13, 2021 with all those interested in the continuing traditions of the Evangelical and Reformed Church and its predecessor denominations. We would like to kickoff this celebration by sharing an introductory video crafted by the Rev. Dr. John C. Dorhauer, General Minister and President of the United Church of Christ. The Society extends a thank you to Rev. Dorhauer for his commitment to helping us lift up the unique heritage and the role that the Evangelical and Reformed Church played in the development of the United Church of Christ. #history #unitedchurchofchrist #HeritageSunday
