Shaker Village (Things to Know Before You Go)
FPC is going to Shaker Village on Saturday, September 9. For the details of the trip, see a second article in this newsletter. My Pastor’s Column this month will be about the Shakers and Shaker Village.
Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill is a living history museum located in Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, about two hours drive from Maysville. It was founded in 1805 by a group of Shakers, a religious group that originated in England in the 17th century. The Shakers believed in simplicity, equality, and celibacy. They lived communally and worked together to support themselves.
The village was once home to over 600 Shakers, but the community declined in the late 19th cen-tury. The last Shaker died in 1923, and the village was abandoned. In 1961, the village was pur-chased by the state of Kentucky and opened to the public as a museum.
Today, Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill is a popular tourist destination. Visitors can tour the village, learn about Shaker history and culture, and participate in hands-on activities. The village is also home to a number of festivals and events throughout the year. We have timed our church visit to miss the Jazz Festival the following weekend. We don’t want to compete with all those extra visi-tors.
As a pastor, I believe that Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill is a place of spiritual significance. The Shakers were a deeply religious people who dedicated their lives to serving God and humankind. Their simple way of life and commitment to equality and community are an inspiration. I hope you can visit Shaker Village on September 9. If you need transportation, please let me know.
Here are some additional details about the Shakers:
• The Shakers were known for their simple lifestyle, plain dress, and celibacy.
• They believed in equality for all, regardless of race, gender, or social status.
• They were also known for their craftsmanship and their innovative furniture designs.
• The Shakers declined in the late 19th century due to a number of factors, including declining membership and the rise of other religious movements.
• Today, there are only a few Shakers left in the world. However, their legacy lives on in the form of Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill and other historical sites.
Cheers,
Pastor Jim

Pet Blessing
Sunday, October 1, 2023
3:00 pm
The tradition continues. Sunday, October 1, 2023, at 3 pm is the time and date. This date draws its inspiration from World Animal Day on October 4. That date is also the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi.
All animals are welcome as long as they are either on a leash or caged. You do not need to be a member of First Presbyterian Church to attend, so invite your neighbors and friends the next time you are out walking your dog!
We understand some pets are not comfortable in a group setting with other animals, but you can still participate by bringing a picture of your pet with you to the Pet Blessing. We also encourage those families who have experienced the loss of a beloved pet to bring a photo to be honored during the ceremony.
We will have treats for your pet, and refreshments for you. See you at the church 21, W. Third Street. We will gather on the Court Street side of the church.
