Brecksville UCC parishioners celebrate two 100th birthdays

March 19, 2019

Brecksville United Church of Christ held a birthday party on Feb. 17 to celebrate parishioners Bill Toneff and Jeanne Cowden, who both turn 100 this year. Children in the parish made a timeline spanning 1919-2019 to illustrate momentous events and popular songs from each decade. The church was adorned with balloons and festive decorations as the community ate cake and celebrated the lives of Toneff and Cowden.
