NEWS: Allegany County Churches Join in Back to Church Weekend

 

Allegany County Churches Focus

on Back to Church Weekend

 

       Several Allegany County churches are gearing up for participation in a national Back to Church  observance next weekend, with the number to date being the most per population of any New York State county and beyond.

       The designation, occurring this year on Saturday-Sunday, September 14-15, was created many years ago to encourage congregants to return to church after summer vacations and those who aren't affiliated with a church to check one out.

       The Bible Baptist Church in Friendship is welcoming returning congregants and visitors with a light luncheon following its 11AM Sunday service, with other participating venues, located on a searchable national map at https://tinyurl.com/Find-a-Church-Now-Map, including:

       -- Lighthouse Christian Fellowship, 1498 Randolph Road, Alfred Station.

       -- Alfred-Almond Baptist Church, 6751 State Route 21, Almond.

       -- Angelica Baptist Church, 10 Park Circle.

       -- Cuba Methodist Church, 49 East Main Street.

       -- United Church of Friendship, 31 East Main Street.

       -- Family Church, 3151 Wightman Road, Wellsville.

       Interested individuals and families can contact the individual churches to determine if they are hosting any other special activities.
