SUMMARY:Rural History Day - Early Church Seating and Worship Customs in the United Brethren Church
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about a little known church tradition\, rooted deep in Maryland among some branches of Christianity (and others) but rarely practiced in its most conservative format? Find out by joining us on Saturday July 26th! \nThe Mount Tabor United Brethren Church was built in 1853 north of Huyetts Crossroads in Washington County\, Maryland. It is representative of many country churches that dot the Washington County\, Maryland landscape. Prior to it being donated to the Friends of the Washington County Rural Heritage Museum and moved to their Village at the Washington County Ag Education Center\, it was listed on the Maryland Historic Sites Inventory. \nVolunteers have worked over this past year to build a low dividing wall in the church. As was common for the Brethren and the Mennonites\, women and men entered this church through separate front doors. In this building\, they were also seated separately for worship\, with a low wall dividing the interior into men’s and women’s spaces. \nYou are invited to attend this special Rural History Day celebration and learn more about what it took to save this piece of county church history. \n12:00pm – 12:45pm Special Worship Service in the Mount Tabor Church located in the Rural Heritage Village\, pastor Steve Wagoner(retired) will lead the service.\n1:00pm – 1:30pm Photo journey and history of the church to be presented by the David Resh family who were instrumental in saving the church and relocating it to its permanent home at the Rural Heritage Village.
