Bells ring in change
R
edeeming Grace PCA, established in 1884, has undergone a few changes in the past couple years. The first was the selection of a new name. Formerly Scherer Memorial Presbyterian Church in America since 1959, the name was changed to reflect the church’s desire to reach the Lake Wylie community and give a name that would mark their goal of proclaiming redemptive grace. Additionally, in 2015, Redeeming Grace purchased four-plus acres adjacent to the church campus to accommodate growth in the congregation and added an 8:30 a.m. Sunday service. The change that seems to be getting the most attention in the community is the installation of church bells. The church’s desire is to call people to worship on Sundays and a few chimes during the week at various times throughout the day. Senior Pastor Aaron Morgan says, “The one goal that we are pleased to hear resonating with the community is the sound of church bells bring fond memories of times past. It’s a tradition that has slowly disappeared in America, and we hope that it will ring of encouragement and joy to our neighbors.” Redeeming Grace PCA welcomes and encourages anyone to join them on Sundays for worship and other times when they gather for fellowship. The church is located at 4800 Charlotte Highway, Lake Wylie. Fall 2017 | www.LakeWylieToday.com
