Tradition was once again renewed during Garfield UMC’s Sunday morning Feb. 20, 2011, service. Tradition says that each time a church member has a birthday, they donate the number of pennies representing the number of years of age being celebrated. In this case, two church members were celebrating. One turned age 64 on Feb. 20 and the other age 63 on Feb. 19. Photo shows a penny donated by the Feb. 20 celebrant.
