A LOOK AT THE PAST


Our nation was built upon traditional Christian values and a willingness to stand up for those values in the public square. History holds that the first public building in our area, Holford Prairie Hall, built cir. 1846, was a two-story building erected and shared by all denominations. It also served as the first school house. This reflects the love for God and the unity that has been a hallmark of our community since its inception. In this centennial year, this prayer rally is an opportunity to reflect on our Christian roots as we look forward to the plans that God holds for our future and publicly proclaim His providence.
