First Presbyterian Church of Somerset is located 43 miles from the the Old Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY By Dave Cazalet, Jr. The members of First Presbyterian Church, 200 Vine ST, Somerset, KY, will celebrate their Sesquicentennial or 150th Anniversary with a week of special events from Monday, April 12, through Sunday, April 18, 2010. The public is invited to attend any of the events. First Presbyterian Church of Somerset is located at the corner of North Vine St. and West Columbia just off the square in downtown Somerset. The church was established in 1860. During the Civil War, the building was used as a hospital for injured soldiers. Celebration starts with art exhibition The celebration will kick off with a special art exhibition with artwork and crafts created by members and friends of the church in honor of the Sesquicentennial. The theme of the exhibit will be "What the church means to me." The exhibit will be located in the church's fellowship hall. The exhibit will be open from 8:30am until 4:30pmET from Monday, April 12, until Friday, April 16, 2010. Artists reception is April 16, 2010 On Friday, April 16, 2010, the church will host a reception for the artists from 5:30pm to 6:30pmET, in the fellowship hall. Refreshments will be served. World-famous organist will present organ recital Following the artists' reception, Colin Andrews, Interim Director of Organ and Sacred Music Studies at East Carolina University, will present an organ recital in the church's sanctuary. The First Presbyterian Church organ was specially constructed for the church and was installed during the church's renovation a few years ago. Andrews has toured the world as a solo recitalist. Born in England, he was a prizewinner at the Dublin International Organ Competitions. He is an associate of the Royal Academy of Music in London. A London review of one performance read, "Colin Andrews showed distinction as a Bach player." Special lecture by Dr. Killinger on April 17, 2010 On Saturday, April 17, 2010, at 7pmET, First Presbyterian Church will host a lecture by the Reverend Dr. John Killinger in the church sanctuary. Killinger is known as "a preacher's preacher." He was educated at Baylor University, the University of Kentucky, Harvard and Princeton. He was originally ordained as a Baptist preacher at the age of 18. "I have always believed that the essence of being a preacher was to be a good storyteller with an important message to convey," Killinger said. "I still regard that as my job." "Maybe the most special thing about John Killinger is the way he says what's really on his mind, whatever other people may think about him for saying it," said Allen Brimer, the pastor of First Presbyterian Church. Sesquicentennial concludes on April 18, 2010 The church's Sesquicentennial Celebration will conclude on Sunday, April 18, with a discussion of the Gospel of Mark led by Rev. Killinger from 9:30am to 10:30amET. The regular Sunday morning worship service will follow at 11amET. A reception will follow the service.For more information about the First Presbyterian Church's Sesquicentennial Celebration contact Church Secretary Carol Troxell at (606) 678-5731.
