Everyone at Grant Street is involved in "doing history" because history matters. It is important because it serves as memory for us. It keeps the past alive. It connects the past to he present and assists in forecasting the future history creates a sense of identy and connection that help us
understand who we are today. Through history, past events remain alive and known by others for a long time. It provides examples of what works and what does't work.
Beginning in January 2010, Grant Street Church of Christ will begin its one hundreth year of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the city of Decatur.
Each month duing the year, Minister Alan Watkins will present one lesson that was preached by one of Grant Street's ministers of the century.
Beginning on January 31, 2010 he will preach a sermon that was first delivered by Filo Bunyan Srgyley entitled "What Church to Join". There will be similar sermons each month through the month of November 2010. On the last Sunday of the celebration there will be a fellowship gathereing and meal.
