In Old Testament times the year of Jubilee (every 50 years) was a time when liberty was proclaimed for all Israelites who were in bondage to their countrymen. Ancestral possessions were returned to any who had been compelled through poverty to sell them, and debts were canceled. "Jubilee" continues to convey the meaning of freedom from burdens so we might live more fully into our potential as a community of God’s people.

Our Jubilee celebrations will begin with a special worship service on January 8, the actual date on which Pebble Hill was officially chartered by the Presbytery of Cayuga-Syracuse. We hope to welcome back for that service our founding pastor, Foss Freeman, as well as former associate pastor Doug Beattie. A celebration luncheon will follow our worship, and the day will conclude with a special jazz vespers at 5:00 p.m.

A 2006 calendar is being produced by our 50^th anniversary committee, featuring pictures from the Pebble Hill archives, and additional celebration dates throughout the year. It will be on sale in time for Christmas. Please keep checking this site for updates for Jubilee year.
