Farewell, First Presbyterian
(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) First Presbyterian Church, a church with a long history in Columbia City dating to the 1800s, will close today following their final church service at 10:30 a.m. this morning. A reception will be held afterward. Past church members and anyone in the community with fond memories of the church, located at the corner of Jackson and Chauncey Streets, are invited to attend.
Comments
This is so sad. I moved away from Columbia City years ago, but spent the first 35 years of my life there. I had several friends who went to the Presbyterian church, and I sometimes went with them.
It's a beautiful church and it used to have such a vibrant membership. It's hard to believe that this lovely church has come to such an end. My sympathy to the few remaining members; this must be a heartbreaking day.
