When Thomas W. Cross moved his family to
Wheatland Township in 1869. He already was established as an
accomplished deacon. Around the beginning of 1870, Cross
gathered a group of area residents and held a meeting at Gingrich
School House--the beginnings of Wheatland Church of Christ which is
now located at 3025 11 Mile Road just north of Remus.
After Thomas Cross passed away in 1892, his
work was continued by others. This year marks the 135th
anniversary since the Wheatland Church of Christ was founded and on
Sunday, nearly 200 current and former members celebrated with a
special service at 11 a.m. and various family oriented games and a
barbecue dinner was held in the afternoon. |
