The St. Paul's Highfield, Reformation and St. Paul's Vandergrift merger service was held on Sunday, June 3, 2012. The congregations from all three churches gathered in the parking lot and processed into the sanctuary behind each congregation's worship symbols including each of the congregation's bibles, chalices, processional cross and baptismal bowl. The water from the baptismal bowls of St. Paul's Vandergrift and Reformation were poured into St. Paul's Highfield's baptismal font. The three white roses in vases in front of the altar represent the three separate congregations. The white ribbon tying them together represents the three congregations merging into one. |
