Summary

On May 11, 1980, a renewal program began at the historic St. Paul's Episcopal Church on the outskirts of Point of Rocks. It was the first time in over 10 years a Sunday worship service had been conducted. According to a Brunswick Citizen article, in which this news story and photo was included, the church was consecrated in 1842. During the Civil War, Union troops used the church as a hospital during the Antietem and Gettysburg campaigns. To help with the services, Grace Episcopal Church in Brunswick sent a corps of lay readers, lectors, chalicists and acolytes to assist the Reverends Tom Staup (Grace Church) and Bill Fallowfield (Claggett Diocesan Center) in the first service.

Clockwise in the photo are: Russell Brewer, David Chase, Stephen Kupferberg, David Thoma, Michael Lake, Rev. Fallowfield, Judge William Wenner, Rev. Staup, Cornelia Hickman and Kathleen Brown.
