ARTICLE IX (Cont.)
In 1892, the first parsonage was built. In 1964 when a new parsonage was completed, five blocks from the church on the corner of Second Street and Timberlane, the old parsonage was utilized as an educational building.
This was torn down in the early 1970's and a fireproof modern educational building was constructed to house the entire Sunday School.
This building was dedicated September 18,	1977,	when the church cele-
brated its 125th Anniversary.
In 1983 an enlarged and much-needed pastor's study was built between the Educational Building and the Fellowship Hall. (To be continued in Article X.)
