We can look at it as a history of the buildings our meeting has inhabited, and of all the improvements and additions we have made over the years. I always find that interesting, and I like architecture. But a church is more than just the building it occupies. I like to think that we would still be a church even if this weren't our meeting place. We can look at our history as a list of the various leaders we have had since our meeting got started.
Leaders are important.
Some of our pastors, and clerks, and other leaders have had a profound effect on the life of the meeting. But lists of leaders are pretty boring to listen to, especially if you don't know many of the people. I think that one of the important things about this year as our 90th anniversary, is that none of the people who were here at the founding of our meeting are left. At our 75th anniversary, we still had a few charter members who were around. Now we don't.
