The name "Smyrna" comes from Revelation 2:9 making reference to being "poor in material wealth but rich in spirit".  You can find out more about Smyrna UCC at About Us.

The Second Stained Glass Window

There is a new stained glass window in the front south side of the Sanctuary.  It was donated in memory of Ethel Mattison Kyrk.

The committee of Pastor Jim Buffington, Beryl Fisher, Irene Schriever and Audrey Yoder commissioned the work by Artist, Tom Alderman.  We feel it compliments the first window on the opposite side of the Sanctuary.  (Photos courtesy of Audrey Yoder and Sandra Mahar.)
