This Week at UPA

Celebrating Myrtle Baptist Church

This month, our neighboring brothers and sisters at the Myrtle Baptist Church in West Newton are celebrating their 150th Anniversary of the founding of their church in 1874. At the UPA Executive Council it was voted to send them a certificate recognizing and celebrating with gratitude this historic event. On Myrtle Baptist’s website there is a link to a wonderful Youtube documentary of its history. Myrtle Baptist Church Documentary. Of additional interest there is within a brief segment filming the eminent domain taking of the Massachusetts toll road extension to Boston through Auburndale and West Newton that shows the former Centenary United Methodist Church after the taking of the front of its property.
