MONTICELLO - At times when disaster strikes, a tough decision needs to be made; in 1965, when a local church was found burnt to the ground as the result of an intense thunderstorm, a small group of patrons defied fellow church members, and even their pastor, to rebuild their place of sanctuary. Washington Reformation UCC will celebrate a landmark of 50 years since the church building was dedicated, rebuilt because of a fire that destroyed it just two years before. Sunday will mark half-a-century since the dedication took place.
