Wichita Church Bicentennial Honors Past and Present Members
Two former Wichita United Methodist Church members attended the 1898 dedication during a Sunday bicentennial event. A noon picnic and 2:30 p.m. program followed worship, with remarks on church history from Al Jorgensen Jr and Luella McCool and reminiscences from Don Betts and Dennis McCool. The feature recounts early trustees, pastorates, Ladies Aid, a 1902 name quilt, and the church's evolution from circuit to independent status.
