A Year Done Differently

About the Book: Daniel Webster, defending Dartmouth College in a case before the Supreme Court, famously said “It is, sir, a small college. And yet there are those who love it.” The same observation could be made about the Clover Hill Reformed Church. Founded in 1834, the Congregation celebrated their 175th Anniversary in 2009 with a year of reflection and recommitment to their ongoing mission. This book recounts the activities of the year and uses them as a lens to view and understand the Church’s history. In a culture that is enthralled with mega-churches, marketing strategies and material measurements of success, Clover Hill, and thousands of churches like her throughout the country, continue to faithfully carry out their work of worship, mission and education. And there are those who love them!
