Adult Education - History Taping
STORIES TO REMEMBER: Join us for a very special Adult Ed this week where we will listen to portions of interviews with our founding pastor, Rev. William (Bill) Barker and his wife, current member, Jean Barker, did for the 50th anniversary.
Time & Location
Mar 02, 2025, 11:00 AM
Bower Hill Community Church, 70 Moffett St, Pittsburgh, PA 15243, USA
About The Event
The sections of the interviews discuss some of the early mission work done at Bower Hill, including a member exchange done with two black churches, the Bidwell Church on the North Side and the Friendship Community Church in the Hill District, mission work done in Puerto Rico and Thailand, and, of course, Pastor Barker's participation at the walk in Selma. We will also hear about Bower Hill's early engagement with having women play an active role in church leadership and ordaining Gail Buchwalter King as an ordained assistant pastor in 1958.
This will be a continuation of our discussions that will be recorded and saved in preparation for the 75th anniversary.
