FOR RELEASE: January
4, 2011
(TROY,
MI) – The Troy
Historical Society is partnering with religious congregations in Troy to
provide a unique lecture series in 2011. Each monthly lecture will be held in a
different house of worship and will focus on the history of that congregation
and their role in building our community.
“Participants
will also have a wonderful opportunity to explore the architecture and
religious symbolism in each building,” said Museum Manager Loraine Campbell.
The
Historical Society has been delighted by the enthusiastic response from the
clergy and laity who embraced the idea and volunteered their time to develop
this series. They hope that the Troy residents will join them each month for
these special presentations.
Reservations
are not required and lectures are free to all THS members. The Historical Society suggests a donation of
$5 for nonmembers. Presentations begin
at 7:30 pm and refreshments will be served. Please
note specific dates for each lecture.
