This initial group of volunteers enthusiastic... more »ally responded to the pastors request and began work on the assignment.
By January of 2005 over 50 volunteers and writers were researching and pulling together historical information to share for the sesquicentennial celebration as a written and pictorial history. They noticed an undisputed, unifying theme beginning to surface that Second Presbyterian Church has been sharing the heart of Christ in the heart of the community for over 150 years.
Their efforts, a labor of love, culminated in the book, Sharing the Heart of Christ in the Heart of the Community. The book is an amazing 286 pages that include over 700 historical photos. The first three chapters explore the early, middle, and modern history of Second Presbyterian Church. The other chapters examine programs and attributes that have made Second Presbyterian Church a force for good in central Illinois and around the world.« less
