This is a letter sent from our friends at the Historic Church Foundation (HCF). The HCF is the group that owns and maintains the Historic First Baptist church building. MCHA has their Archives in the back rooms and also uses the building for meetings and gatherings such as the annual Holiday Celebration. If you are able to donate to help preserve the church building for future generations, the HCF would appreciate your help
