The Liberty Bell

By Margaret Brown

This organization was

founded in 1976 by Ruth Adams after the min-

ister asked her to start a social group for the

55 and older age group. The group began with

8 Liberty Grove members. Soon other friends

and neighbors heard about it and wanted to

join. It is now an “Outreach” program for

LGUMC and has grown to over 100 members

of both Liberty Grove and neighboring

Meetings are held the first Tuesday of

each month, September through June at 10:30

a.m. in Fellowship Hall. After a short business

meeting we have entertainment from a variety

of sources for about an hour.

Then we eat lunch together and

enjoy the camaraderie. Some-

times we bring a sandwich

(desert and drink provided).

Other times a light lunch is pre-

pared at a reasonable price. At

Christmas, Valentine’s and June

we have a catered meal.

We also have several day (or longer) trips

arranged by our program director. All mem-

bers, new and old, are cordially invited to

come and enjoy as many meetings and trips as
