As one of the dominant features in downtown Davisburg, the Davisburg United Methodist Church celebrated its 160th Anniversary on May 21.
‘As part of the community we’ve been here almost since the start of Springfield Township,? said Administrative Assistant Joey Hruby, who noted everyone knows the church with its high white steeple on Davisburg Road. ‘It’s a nice thing to get together with old friends.?
According to Hruby, church members did not want to wait another 15 years to bring everyone together in honor of the church’s history. Hruby noted that the church’s Annual Fish Fry in the spring and community outreach have filled an important role for the church in Davisburg over the years.
The celebration included a slide show of historical pictures from the church, its people and pastors. Letters from previous pastors were read and a cookbook put together by the Women’s Circle of Love was sold to help raise funds to refurbish a part of the church complex.
With approximately 130 members, Davisburg United Methodist Church is lead by pastor Bill Seitz.
