Faith, in part, involves remembering and retelling our stories.  As a community we tell stories from the Bible, from history, and from our own lives.  We do this because we believe that in each telling there is always more to experience and discover.  Today, we remember and celebrate 150 years of faith, hope, and love at First Pres.
