First Baptist Memories
We are asking members and friends to contribute some of their favorite
memories to the First Baptist Library.
Dick Pierce has written a history of the last 150 years for the 150th
Anniversary Booklet. You too can help write the history of First Baptist by
submitting some of your favorite memories. It may be a memory of a
Sunday School teacher, a minister, an associate or interim minister, a
sermon, a musical program or soloist, a wedding, a memorial service, a
mission program, a lay person who has done a lot for our church, our
building, a little known part of church history,etc, or you may want to add to
something you read in the 150th Anniversary Booklet.
The purpose of this project is to preserve memories that would otherwise
be lost and to make these memories available for the enjoyment of others.
Good pictures are also welcome.

lieu of using the computer you may obtain a form from the Church office.
Questions??? Contact a member of the 150th Anniversary Historical
