Excerpt from Lyerly Memorial United Church of Christ 100th Anniversary, 1891-1991 The privilege of writing the history for a church's centennial celebration is one to be approached humbly and with dedication. This account has been prepared with prayerful concern that it might be not only an accurate record based on historical research, but also that it might capture the very spirit and soul of God's people at work and worship in this congregation.
